According to the 303rd BG narrative, the group flew as the "B" group of the 41st CBW.  The 303rd BG was lead by William Wisenhart of the 359th BS.
According to this narrative, the primary target at Zwickau was obscurred by clouds, so the decision was made to attack Kittzengen, but also had a comment about Crailsheim Germany being a target.      The AAF combat chronology   indicates that Kittzengen and Crailsheim were attacked, however it doesn't mention Zwickau, stating that the primary target had been Treuchtlingen.  Interestingly, Kittzengen was not supposed to be a secondary target, or even a target of last resort, but must have been considered a target of opportunity.

I have since received a narrative from the historian of the 303rd Bomb Group Association, posted to the 303rd-talk mailing list, which reads:
 

< Re: Mission #321 23 February 1945.
All three squadrons bombed a target of opportunity at Kitzingen, Germany
Mission was part of "Operation Clarion" to bomb German marshalling yards at
medium altitudes.
The primary target was Zwickau, Germany ( a 9 1/2 hour mission).  At arrival
at the Primary the 41st CBW " B' Group [303rd BG(H)] found the target covered
by 10.10th cloud and it could not be picked up by PFF.  The Lead 359th
Squadron started a run oin Bamburg by PFF.  Just before bombs away the
Bombardiuer and Navigator noticed some breaks in the clouds and decided to
pick up a target of opportunity and bomb visually.  A visual run was made on
a marshalling yard at Kitzingen with excellent result.
The low 427th Squadron followed the Lead Squadron and bombed visually at
Kitzingen with excellent results.
The high 360th BS had trouble anticipating the target to be attacked. They
were flying too high above the Group leader and made some navigational
errors. The target
of opportunity  was recognized approximately 60 seconds before bombs away and
a normal visual run was made against the target at Kitzingen. The Bombardier
made an error in setting his bomb site controls and bombing results were poor
with a 3500 foot radial error.
303rd Squadrons bombed from 11,500 (Lead), 11,200 (low) and 12,450 (higjh)
foot altitudes.  Nine 303rd B-17s landed at alternate airports in Engl;and
due to gas shortages.
The 41st CBW "A" Group [384th BG(H)] bombed their primary target at Plauen,
Germany by PFF through the 10/10th clouds and results could not be observed.
The 41st CBW "C" Group [379th BG(H)] was also unable to bomb the primary
target
and bombed the secondary target visually at Crailsheim, Germany with
excellent results.  The 379th high group had a premature bomb release due to
a Bombardier.
error.  One B-17 from the 30rd High Squadron dropped his bombs with the 379th
BG(H).
Due to some takeoff delays and navigational confusion the 303rd 41st CBW "B"
Group ended up ahead of the 384th BG(H) 41st CBW "A"  due to late departure
by the "A" Group and not following the briefed routes.  During the bombing
run the 303rd "B" Group crossed directly in front of the 384th "A" Group

Finally, the Kitzingen mission is one for which I have an original bomb damage assesment photo.  It is shown below. I am not sure which squadron the image comes from, but it is from one of the 303rd planes.
