Bomber War - 7. Fire and Fury - Bomber Command 1943 - The Ruhr, Hamburg, Berlin and Disaster

Bomber Command's attacks on Germany became a furious assault through Spring and Summer 1943, before a disasterous change of direction led the force to near annihilation in the winter of 1943/44. This is the story fo what happened. This episode covers the Battle of the Ruhr, the Hamburg Firestorm, the raid on the V1 and V2 rocket research site at Peenemünde, and the disastrous attacks on Berlin and Nuremberg. We’ll look at how these missions affected the course of World War II, the Nazi war economy, and the future of the Royal Air Force itself.
