Notes
Content: One of the reasons the German Air Force stopped attacking English airfields and radar stations during the Battle of Britain and started bombing London was in revenge for these Royal Air Force raids on Berlin.
Content: Picture caption: "Das ist das Ende eines Angriffs der britischen Luftwaffe auf Berlin. Von zwölf Bombern wurden drei abgeschossen. Die deutsche Luftwaffe führte für diese nächtlichen Einflüge der Briten furchtbare Vergeltungsschläge durch. Die beiden Industriestädte Coventry und Birmingham wurden mit je 500 000 kg Sprengbomben überschüttet."
