Red Raids on Berlin: Stalin’s 1941 Bomber Offensive Against the Nazi Capital...

Send us Fan Mail The battle for the skies over war torn Europe was one of, if not the most crucial theatre of the war against Nazi Germany. The strategic bombing campaign carried out by the Allies grew in strength with every passing year until literally thousands of four-engined heavy bombers like the American B-17 Flying Fortress and the B-24 Liberator blotted out the sun at day while at night an British and Canadian planes turned the black of night into an orange glow of flame as their bombs ignited below. However, an often-overlooked part of this story is the small but intriguing contribution of the Soviet Union in the story of the overall bombing campaign. Not possessing a vast armada of four engined heavy bombers with which to hit cities like Berlin, the Soviet story is instead one of symbolic retribution, for as Germany’s armies seemed unstoppable in the opening months of Operation Barbarossa, Soviet aircraft battled the odds to prove to their people that the Fascists were not invincible. This is the story of Stalin’s dramatic 1941 bombing campaign against the Nazi capital as his own capital was increasingly under threat from being overrun by German troops.
