3/4 October 1944 (Page 96)

I have not come across many accounts from people who came under attack by NSG 9.

The website http://www.milhist.net/913/4410.html tells how Battery C of the US 913th Field Artillery Batallion, 88th Infantry Division was moving to new positions due south of Castel del Rio (BO) on 3 October 1944 when it was bombed and strafed by "a light bomber" at 19.03 hours.

Three men of the battery were killed and seven more wounded. Two members of A Battery were also wounded. Sergeant Cheon's gun section had its gun truck destroyed by a direct hit and their howitzer had to be sent for repair.

This was a night of intense activity for NSG 9 with crews flying multiple sorties, so it is not possible to say which Ju 87 crew might have been involved in this particular attack.

Thanks to Laurent Rizzotti for drawing my attention to this information.
