Pilots were given
instructions not to hit factories in Germany that were owned by U.S.
firms," writes Michael Parenti. "Thus Cologne was almost leveled by
Allied bombing but its Ford plant, providing military equipment for

plant as an air raid shelter."



I flew many missions to Cologne. We were never once instructed to avoid the
Ford plant.
