2) Air War Over Germany
This documentary shows you the bombing raids on Nazi Germany. From the first failed attacks by the Royal Air Force bombers in the early 1940s to the carpet of bombs on cities such as Dresden.
The RAF struggled hard to find a way to take the war to Germany after the Luftwaffe's attack on Britain tailed off during 1941. It eventually determined on The Strategic Bombing Campaign that was designed primarily to disrupt German war production and undermine civilian morale. The images of completely flattened cities make an indelible impression! The specially developed incendiary bombs and other weapons of destruction ultimately killed more than half a million German civilians, and countless connecting roads, factories, railways and military targets were razed to the ground. The greatest value of the offensive, however, turned out to be that they tied up almost all of the Luftwaffe's resources in the home defense.
The air war over Germany was one of the most controversial campaigns of the entire war and cost many thousands of Allied and German lives. In fact, the RAF's losses were so great during the years 1941-1943, that they almost stopped the operations. When the USAAF arrived, however, the situation improved and the raids continued without major losses from 1944 onwards. The result was costly in human life and great devastation, but this air war campaign turns out to have been crucial in the eventual victory over Nazi Germany.
