Allied Strategic Bombing of Germany, 1940 - 1945
A map illustrating the impact of the Allied Strategic Bombing Operations against Germany from 1940 to 1945, a sustained aerial campaign conducted by the RAF and USAAF during World War II. Its primary objective was to cripple Germany's industrial capacity and morale by targeting key industrial centers, transportation networks, and population centers. The campaign included notorious raids such as Operation Chastise and the 'Thousand Bomber' raids like Operation Gomorrah, massive bombing operations involving over a thousand aircraft designed to overwhelm German defenses and inflict significant damage on enemy infrastructure and morale.
