Summary edit

Description
English: A ground target near Oschersleben, Germany, is attacked by a U.S. Army Air Forces fighter on 16 July 1944.
Note the original caption: "A small farmsteading near Oschersleben under attack by a 56th Fighter Group aircraft (serial number 44-14351) on the 16th of July 1944. Handwritten caption on reverse: '414351, 7/16/44, Oschersleben.'" There are several issues: a) tha target appears to be a small train; b) the 56th Fighter Group flew the Republic P-47D Thunderbolt in July 1944 and 44-14351 was a North American P-51D-10-NA Mustang of the 479th FG. 41-4351 also does not fit to P-47.
Date 16 July 1944
