Throughout late-1943 into early-1944, an epic struggle raged over the
skies of Germany between RAF Bomber Command and the Luftwaffe. This
campaign had been undertaken by the Commander-in-Chief Bomber Command,
Air Chief Marshal Sir Arthur Harris, and was baptized 'The Battle of
Berlin'. The Berlin campaign was a hard, desperate slog. Struggling
against dreadful and bitter winter weather, Bomber Command 'went' to
Berlin a total of sixteen times, suffering increasingly severe losses
throughout the winter of 1943/44 in the face of a revitalized German
air-defence. The campaign remains controversial and the jury, even
today, is ultimately undecided as to what it realistically achieved.
Illustrated throughout with full-colour artwork depicting the enormous
scale of the campaign, this is the story of the RAF's much debated
attempt to win the war through bombing alone.
