But not in our first raid. Same for Germany. Especially Berlin, being the capital of Nazi Germany (still is the capital of the Federal Germany today again since October 1990). There were 363 raids on Berlin alone, leaving much of the city in ruins. Interestingly and often overlooked the first raid in 1940, while the Nazis were still conquering France was done by a single French plane. Some of the bombs were tossed out of a window by the co-pilot. Didn't cause much damage like the first raid on Tokyo by carrier based bombers (Doolittle Raid). Purpose was merely to show the enemy that their respective homelands were vulnerable, and boosted the moral of the allies. -- Andreas https://news-commentaries.blogspot.com/
