The first book to cover the full history of the RAF's air war against Hamburg, one of the most important target cities in Germany.

The city of Hamburg became synonymous with the destructive power of RAF Bomber Command when, during summer 1943, the city suffered horrific destruction in a series of four heavy firebombing attacks, Operation Gomorrah. However, few know how varied or long the Hamburg campaign was. In this book, RAF air power expert Dr Richard Worrall presents the complete history of the RAF's air campaign against the city, a campaign that stretched well beyond the devastating fire raids of 1943.

Dr Worrall explains how Germany's second city was an industrial centre of immense proportions and proved a consistent target for Bomber Command throughout World War II. It was home to oil refineries, U-boat pens, and ship-building and submarine-building yards, all sustained by a large industrial workforce. Bomber Command evolved tactically and technically throughout the war, and the Luftwaffe's defensive capabilities would do likewise in response.

Drawing on a wide range of primary and secondary sources available on this topic, and packed with photos, artwork, maps and diagrams, this is an important new history of the air campaign against the industrial and naval heart of Nazi Germany.

HMS Warspite
5.0 out of 5 stars The Bomber War...
Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2024
Verified Purchase
The Allied bombing campaign against Germany during the Second World War has been the subject of several long scholarly studies. That campaign remains controversial to the present day. In this new Osprey Air Campaign book, author Richar Worrell manages to compress the essentials into a publication of reasonable length.

The narrative describes Britain's struggle (and later the U.S. struggle) to hit back at suitable targets inside Germany. The technology never quite caught up to the many challenges, while the Germans proved astonishingly resilient to the attacks. The text includes lots of period photographs and modern illustrations and battle diagrams. Well recommended to students of the conflict.
