baloon bombs

In what states did the baloon bombs actualy land?

One hit 50th and Dundee in Omaha, NE (Link from KETV). The populace was told not to publicize it, so as to not shake morale.

Possible error regarding Spain's placement as "Axis"

(Apologies if this is the incorrect place for such a message; am still trying to master Wikipedia's editing system) In the "Axis" column of "Belligerents", the 'Spanish Empire' is listed, under a redlink, and misspelled. I do not see anything in the talk page history about whether or not Spain should be removed (though I don't doubt there's a legitimate reason for it to be there!) Would I be justified in, at the minimum, fixing the link and correcting the typo ("Emprie" to "Empire"?)Kaiser Wilhelm the Tenth (talk) 01:05, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Missing quotation marks

Two sentences that were directly quoted from the source were missing quotation marks, I added them. These were found incidentally. No exhaustive search was made, there are probably more. Citizen127 (talk) 00:33, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Summary Help

I have been working slowly over the past couple of months on Draft:Attacks on the United States, which obviously has several entries from this war (like the attack on Pearl Harbor and the bombardment of Ellwood. If anyone familiar with one or several of the attacks against the U.S. during the war, feel free to help perfect the summaries or help by adding additional sources/references.

Any assistance is always appreciated! You can find the World War II section in the draft here: Draft:List of attacks on the United States#World War II (December 1941–September 1945). The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 21:39, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
