Allied Bomber Assaults Deep Into Nazi Europe In Major Week
Allied air forces launched a massive assault across Germany and occupied regions, with 3,000 Allied bombers striking targets from Mannheim to Brest and the south of France. British, American, and Canadian air units hit military installations, rail yards, bridges, and shipping, supported by Mosquito formations and fighter escorts. Weather improved to aid continuous operations, driving German forces to daylight withdrawals and threatening a rout, as U.S. and British crews reported thousands of railroad cars and locomotives destroyed or damaged and major oil and industrial targets hammered.
