Cigarette case from 1945 that showcases an emblem of the 9th U.S. Air Force and «Air Disarmament Germany – 1945» on the front and the map of England and Ireland on the other side.
The 9th Air Force was heavily involved in bombing raids and ground attacks that targeted German aircraft, airfields, and associated infrastructure. This continued right up to and even after Germany's surrender to ensure that no German aircraft could be used in combat.
