Overview
There were 2 operations this week, to the island of Heligoland and the port of Bremen. Both raids were carried out in daylight due to the decimation of the Luftwaffe by long range fighter escorts. The attack on Bremen was in preparation for the ground assault by the British XXX Corps, which successfully captured the city a few days later – the first major German port to be captured.
