Re: 30/31/5/1944 Last Bombs to fall on Britain
The last bombs dropped on Britain by Luftwaffe bombers were dropped in March 1945, probably in the night of 19-20th (last German raid over Britain). In this month Intruders were operating over Britain rather than classical bombers.
"The Blitz then and now, vol 3" shows no activity or German losses for 30-31/May/1944. The night before (29-30), "Falmounth was bombed, one hotel received a direct hit and another was damaged. One person was killed. A Ju88 of 5./KG 6, one of a force of ten attacking Falmouth, failed to return."
It seems to me that the last major bombing raid was the attack against Portsmouth on May 22-23 (7 losses). Next losses were on the night of 28-29, a Ju188 being lost on a raid against Torquay and a Me410 shot down off Cromer.
