by Martin Middlebrook

On This Page

Description

The Battle of Berlin was the longest, most sustained offensive against a single target, and its merits remain a subject of debate even today. Here is the story behind these costly raids-- including crucial tactical shifts within the R.A.F.-- and month-by-month coverage of the most important runs. Based on over 400 interviews of both British and German aircrews.
