Re: Operation Steinbock question
Dr Alfred Price in Blitz on Britain (Ian Allan, 1977, p170) says during the first 5 months of 1944 air raid casualties in Britain totalled 1,556 killed and 2,916 seriously wounded. More than half of these resulted from five concentrated attacks on London commencing with that of 18 Feb.
Losses amounted to more than 300 aircraft, about 60% of the number available at the beginning of the operation. The Luftwaffe, he states, lost approximately one bomber and four trained crewman for every five British civilians killed on the ground. BC
