Spring of 1942. The so-called “Battle of Britain”, in which the Nazi German air force “Luftwaffe” tried to break the British with air strikes in the summer and autumn of 1940, was over. Until the summer of 1941, the Germans still bombed London and other British industrial centers, but after June 22, when Germany launched an attack To the Soviet Union, the attacks on England were stopped.
By the beginning of 1942, Britain had already recovered from the losses it had experienced at the beginning of the war and decided to start “imitating” Germany with the same thing – bombing German cities. The British decided to try a new form of bombing: if so far separate targets had been bombed, then the new strategy was to throw bombs at a specific area without differentiating targets. The first area chosen was the ancient northern German city of Lübeck, which had no military factories, only a few shipyards.
