Guys I was reading last week a local newspaper supplement and in a text regarding D-day celebrations I noticed this ( free traslation):
" … but Victory was not sung completly in 1945. Tension was enormous due to the massive presence of Soviet Forces in Berlin and the ever present threat of a clash to dominate the Western Europe. During the first celebrations of D-day landings in 1946, a gigantic demostration of power was made by the US forces with a fly over of hundreds of B-29’s over Germany. The B-29 was the aircraft that droped the first bomb in Japan, so it was to show Russian Forces that the power was on their side. Locals were warned not to run away as they had to do daily a year before, however as trauma was still present most got panic and ran for cover. Later on, in May 1947 Russian forces made the same with a military parade in the still destroyed streets of Berlin concentrating thousands of tanks and aircrafts in this display. Soviet flags were exibited all over. As a reply all allies organized in June 1947 another force demonstration making the B-29’s fly all over German territory once again. Aparently these force demonstrations ended here with the Allies concentrating their force exibits at Air shows in France and England and the Russians with parades in Moscow where they took the chance to dysplay their most recent military equipment …"
As I never red nothing about this events, I posted them at Hyperscale and several guys told it was a true event ( you may red that full thread here : http://disc.server.com/discussion.cgi?id=174315;article=642347;search_term=b-29;show_parent=1 )
I performed some surveys and checked some books and the return so far is Nothing relevant! Damn! Seams history jumps from 1945 directly in to the Korean War.
So, who can help me and guide me to some pictures of these events and Squadrons, colors, markings, history, mission reports… you know… Whatever you may guide me!
Thanks a lot!
Best regards to you all!
