AIR WAR OVER GERMANY : RAF Bomber Command was responsible for carrying the war to Hitler's Germany when Britain stood alone during the early days of 1940 and 1941.

By 1942, losses had grown so heavy, that the RAF adopted a policy of night bombing only.

The staggeringly high casualties were borne with stoic resolve by the men who knew they had a job which had to be done.

This is the story of the air war over Germany from the British viewpoint.
