Nuremberg raid, mounted by RAF Bomber Command on 30/31 March 1944; this operation has been described as the greatest air battle in history ( M. Middlebrook,
The Nuremberg Raid, London, 1973). Because of the extended flying time over Germany, and because the visibility was so good—many thought the operation should have been cancelled because of that—German night fighters employed their
Zahme Sau tactics and new SN-2 radar (see
electronic warfare) to great advantage. Of the 782 bombers dispatched, 106 were lost, a crippling casualty rate of 13.6%. Bomber Command had 743 dead or wounded and a further 159 became
prisoners-of-war. The high losses resulted in the bomber-stream method of flying to the target (see
bombers, 2) being abandoned. The damage to Nuremberg was minimal and the Germans lost only ten fighters. See also
strategic air offensives, 1.
