Cologne Raids Mark Major Allied Bombing Push
Military dispatches describe last night’s British raid on Cologne matching the scale of the 1942 1000 bomber attack as RAF bombers and American Fortresses carried out strikes on St Nazaire and Beaumont Le Roger in occupied France. Casualties and home losses are reported by Nazi sources as part of broader Allied air pressure along western Europe, with mixed results and modest fighter hits.
