The Germans had been duped during
the RAF attack on Peenemunde; they
held back to defend Berlin against
an attack which never came. Bomber
Command escaped by the skin of its
teeth. One crewman whose bomber had
been shot down by one of the hand-
full of German fighters which made it
to Peenemunde found himself captured
and held temporarily at the home of
an English-born lady who was married
to a Luftwaffe officer. "She had just
come from Berlin. I told her not to
go back there; it was next on our
list."
Six nights later (23-24 August, 1943),
the British attacked Berlin with a
Hamburg-style catastrophe in mind.
The Germans had once again sent all
available fighters to Berlin. This
time, they had guessed correctly.
789 bombers attacked, 56 were shot
down by Germans using the new Wild
Boar tactics. Berlin suffered no
important damage.
ORDERS: Ground controllers have di-
rected you to Berlin to await a major
incoming raid. Destroy as many bombers
as you can.
