i work with a computer program that shows random trivia occasionally. one recently claimed that 'the first allied bombing mission over Berlin killed the only elephant in the Berlin Zoo.' any truth to that?

Re: first mission to berlin
I have never heard that.
As far as I know the first Allied bombing mission against Berlin was flown by ONE french bomber in June 1940 and achieved nothing, except for propaganda value.

Re: first mission to berlin
Hello,
Story seems to ring a bell or two. Yes i think I have read the story of the Zoo being bombed. But cannot recall if it was the first Berlin Raid. Alex
