The author sets the scene by outlining the course of the bombing war from 1939 to the night of the Nuremberg raid, the characters and aims of the British bombing leaders and the composition of the opposing Bomber Command and German night fighter forces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe aim of the Nuremberg raid was not unlike many hundreds of other RAF missions but, due to the difficulties and dangers of the enemy defenses and weather plus bad luck, it went horribly wrong. The result was so notorious that it became a turning point in the campaign. The target, the symbolic Nazi rally city of Nuremberg, was only lightly damaged and 96 out of 779 bombers went missing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMiddlebrook recreates the events of the fateful night in astonishing detail. The result is a meticulous dramatic and often controversial account. It is also a moving tribute to the bravery of the RAF bomber crews and their adversaries.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pen and Sword Aviation","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45299238469783,"sku":"9781526774903","price":1389.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781526774903.webp?v=1769285287","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-nuremberg-raid-30-31-march-1944-9781526774903","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
