Abstract:

A detached yet moving account of the first thousand bomber raid which ultimately reduced the population of Cologne by ninety-five per cent, 'Operation Millennium' was the terrible culmination of months of pressure from 'Bomber' Harris to get this new and deadly strategy accepted. It was an extraordinary feat of organization involving 1,048 bombers, over 6,000 aircrew and 53 British airfields. To ensure the success of this first strike of the Allied blitz 'maximum effort' was the order. The Royal Air Force waged a merciless campaign against any airmen who showed faltering commitment, ruthlessly trying them by court martial as 'lacking moral fibre. In this picture of the war in the skies, the atmosphere of night bomber stations is recalled - the comradeship, the courage lightly worn, the pity and the fear. The raid on Cologne is remembered by the crews of Bomber Command and the unlucky citizens of Cologne who endured the night raids. Eric Taylor has interviewed Britons and Germans, aggressors and victims. Their eye-witness accounts testify to the horror and heroism on both sides of this unprecedented raid.
