Overview
Just 2 missions this week; minelaying in Kiel bay and the last attack by Bomber Command on a German town, Potsdam. The aiming point was the centre of Potsdam with the intention of destroying the local barracks which were the old depot of the German Guards regiments. It was also the first time, since March 1944, that 4-engined RAF bombers had entered the Berlin defense zone. It is thought that up to 5000 people were killed.
