Sascha Weinzheimer: September 21, 1944
This morning about 9:30 there were seven Nip planes above us practicing diving. It was a bright sun-shiny day. Then, we heard the sound of many planes in the distance but didn't pay much attention. Mother said, "That's a different sound. Can't you hear it?" Mother ran outside and we heard her yell, "Look, look! There are hundreds of them." We all ran out and right over our heads were planes! planes! planes! Everyone was screaming and pointing up at them.
