States Paul Carson Lost Life In Raid Near Hamburg, Germany Dec. 31, 1944 Although hope had long been slight that their son was still alive, it was not until last week that Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Carson of Woodburn gave up their last vestige of hope when they received details of the death of their son, Staff Sergeant Paul Carson on a bombing raid near Hamburg, Germany on December 31, 1944. His personal effects had been sent home some time ago but Mr. and Mrs. Carson decided against opening them until they had received final word that the government was sure he had lost his life in the raid. The letter, received January 8, stated their son "S/Sgt. Stanley Paul Carson has been officially declared dead. He was reported missing in action on December 31, 1944 over Germany. It was his 14th mission and had bombed Hamburg when the B-17 Flying Fortress was struck by flak and attacked by enemy fighters. It crashed half way between Hamburg and Wisermunde at 11:55 a. m. Twelve ships out of 36 on the raid were lost in that action." As has been noted in The Sentinel before, he was awarded the air medal in November, 1944 "for meritorious achievement while participating in heavy bombardment missions in the air offensive against the enemy over continental Europe. The courage, coolness and skillfulness displayed by the enlisted man upon these occasions reflect great credit upon himself and the armed forces of the U. S. " Among the personal effects returned was a notebook in which he had jotted down the raids he had taken part in prior to his death. Headed "Raids" the notes listed the names of the places and minor details of the action as follows: "Mersberg, scrubbed No.1, Minez; warehouse, 10-9-44. Bremen, F. W. 190 Fact. Cologne, Railyard.
