Re: Stalingrad Air Raid
Imagine that amount of supply... 1000 tons of bombs, plus the same amount of fuel or even more...
And imagine that day... it started as a nice summer day for sure...during maybe 8hours of operations, 1.600 sorties... meaning 200 planes per hour over the city...
Remidnes me of that picture with the huge black cloud over Stalingrad, which according to a pilot had the shape of a cross - a grave's cross... and it hang their for several days...
We are just lucky persons to live in the early 21st century in the peaceful parts of the world.
