Bombing of Hamburg, 1943

BOMBING OF HAMBURG

HAMBURG, Germany - "Operation Gomorrah" (just the name tells you what the plans were) - was an aerial fire bombing campaign that occurred on the night of July 24, 1943, until August 3. Formulated by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, the bombing was carried out by both the British Royal Air Force and the United States Eighth Air Force.

Operation Gomorrah destroyed a significant percentage of the city of Hamburg, leaving over 1 million residents homeless and killing 40,000-50,000 civilians. In the immediate wake of the raids, over two-thirds of Hamburg's population fled the city.

As if this raid wasn't enough, the Allies hit Hamburg at least fifty more times before the war ended with both nuisance raids and large bombing campaigns.

 Bombing of civilians was against the Geneva Convention and International Law.
