Nachdem Konews Vorausabteilungen Zossen besetzt hatten, näherten sich erste Einheiten dem Teltowkanal an der südlichen Stadtgrenze bei Teltow. Division wurde jedoch nicht ermächtigt, Verhandlungen zu führen.These were great propaganda raids which—much as the Doolittle Raid on the Japanese home islands had done for boosting American morale in April —were a severe embarrassment for the German leadership.
April 20 was Hitler's 54th birthday. Bomber Command decided that they had to mark the occasion with a raid on Berlin, and it was decided that the Mosquito was the right aircraft for the job.
Accordingly, No. The first raid of the battle occurred on November Berlin was the main target, and was attacked by Avro Lancasters aided by four Mosquitos.
The city was under cloud and the damage was not severe. The second major raid was on the night of November This was the most effective raid by the RAF on Berlin.
The raid caused extensive damage to the residential areas west of the centre, Tiergarten and Charlottenburg , Schöneberg and Spandau.
Because of the dry weather conditions, several firestorms ignited. The Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church was destroyed.
On December 17, extensive damage was done to the Berlin railway system. By this time cumulative effect of the bombing campaign had made more than a quarter of Berlin's total living accommodation unusable.
On February , important war industries were hit, including the large Siemensstadt area, with the centre and south-western districts sustaining most of the damage.
This was the largest raid by the RAF on Berlin. Raids continued until March These raids caused immense devastation and loss of life in Berlin.
The November 22 raid killed 2, Berliners and rendered , homeless. The following night, 1, were killed and , made homeless. During December and January regular raids killed hundreds of people each night and rendered between 20, and 80, homeless each time.
The 16 raids on Berlin cost Bomber Command more than aircraft, with their crews killed or captured. This was a loss rate of 5. Having 25 aircraft destroyed meant that the fighting force of the squadron had to be replaced in three months.
At these rates Bomber Command would have been wiped out before Berlin. In , the U. Army and the Standard Oil company built a set of replicas of typical German working class housing estates, " German Village ", which would be of key importance in acquiring the know-how and experience necessary to carry out the firebombings on Berlin.
It was done with the assistance of Erich Mendelsohn , a Jewish architect of structures in Berlin who fled the Nazis in Jimmy Doolittle, had implemented a major change in fighter defense of USAAF strategic bomber formations that had bolstered the confidence of U.
Until that time, Allied bombers avoided contact with the Luftwaffe; now, the Americans used any method that would force the Luftwaffe into combat.
Implementing this policy, the United States looked toward Berlin. The Allies replaced their losses; the Luftwaffe could not.
At the tail end of the Battle of Berlin the RAF made one last large raid on the city on the night of 24—25 March, losing 8. Eisenhower and Spaatz made it clear that the attack on Berlin was of great political importance in that it was designed to assist the Soviet offensive on the Oder east of Berlin, and was essential for Allied unity.
In the raid, led by Lieutenant-Colonel Robert Rosenthal of the th Bombardment Group — commanding the entire First Air Division 's bomber force on this raid [43] — Friedrichstadt the newspaper district , and Luisenstadt both divided between the boroughs of Kreuzberg and Mitte , the central area and some other areas, such as Friedrichshain , were severely damaged.
The bombs used in this raid consisted mostly of high explosive ordnance and not incendiary munitions. The area that suffered the greatest damage did not include railway main lines , which were more northern Stadtbahn and southern Ringbahn , but did include two terminal stations of Berlin Anhalter and Potsdamer Bahnhof , the latter of which had already been out of service since due to bomb destruction.
The bombing was so dense that it caused a city fire spreading eastwards, driven by the wind, over the south of Friedrichstadt and the northwest of neighboured Luisenstadt.
The fire lasted for four days until it had burnt everything combustible in its range to ashes and after it had reached waterways, large thoroughfares, and parks that the fire could not jump over.
Due to the exhaustion of German supplies the German anti-aircraft defense was under-equipped and weak so that out of the 1, US aircraft committed, only 36 were shot down and their crews taken as prisoners-of-war.
Rosenthal was among those shot down and survived, but was rescued by the Soviet armed forces and eventually returned to England.
A number of monuments, such as French Luisenstadt Church, St. Michael's Church , St. Among the dead was Roland Freisler , the infamous head justice of the People's Court.
The death toll amounted to 2,, fewer than might have been expected because the raid took place in daytime with relatively few incendiary bombs.
The number of wounded amounted to 20,, and , were left homeless or " dehoused ". Another raid on 26 February [46] left another 80, people homeless.
Raids continued until April, when the Red Army was outside the city. In the last days of the war the Red Air Force also bombed Berlin, as well as using Ilyushin Il-2 and similar aircraft for low-level attacks from 28 March onwards.
By this time Berlin's civil defences and infrastructure were close to collapsing but civilian morale held. After the capture of Berlin, Soviet General Nikolai Bersarin said, referring to the Red Army's artillery and rocket bombardment, that:.
Estimates of the total number of dead in Berlin from air raids range from 20, to 50,; current German studies suggest the lower figure is more likely.
The Nazi regime was acutely aware of the political necessity of protecting the Reich capital against devastation from the air. By , however, the five huge public shelters Zoo, Anhalt Station, Humboldthain, Friedrichshain and Kleistpark were complete, offering shelter to 65, people.
Other shelters were built under government buildings, the best-known being the so-called Führerbunker under the Reich Chancellery building.
In addition, many U-Bahn stations were converted into shelters. The rest of the population had to make do with their own cellars.
In , the Germans decided to evacuate non-essential people from Berlin. By 1. An effort was made to evacuate all children from Berlin, but this was resisted by parents, and many evacuees soon made their way back to the city as was also the case in London in — The increasing shortage of manpower as the war dragged on meant that female labour was essential to keep Berlin's war industries going, so the evacuation of all women with children was not possible.
At the end of the city's population began to grow again as refugees fleeing the Red Army 's advance in the east began to pour into Berlin.
The Ostvertriebenen "refugees from the East" were officially denied permission to remain in Berlin for longer than two days and were housed in camps near to the city before being moved on westwards; it is estimated less than 50, managed to remain in Berlin.
By January the population was around 2. Another , or so were forced labor, mainly French Fremdarbeiter , "foreign workers", and Russian Ostarbeiter "eastern workers".
The key to the Flak area were three huge Flak towers Flaktürme , which provided enormously tough platforms for both searchlights and mm anti-aircraft guns as well as shelters Hochbunker for civilians.
The Flak guns were increasingly manned by the teenagers of the Hitler Youth as older men were drafted to the front.
After there was little fighter protection from the Luftwaffe , and the Flak defences were increasingly overwhelmed by the scale of the attacks.

Roger - I have let Penelope know about the zilch contribution from the search sic box and await her knowing instructions!
Doverog - To get back to your thread after the slight diversion set to rights by penelope - the Film that gets me chuckling At that point I am off my chair and heading for the floor!
Why Fox, Bogarde and Michael Caine put up with that twist of History in the American version - I shall never know - it must have been the lure of Money!
Similarly when Sean Connery stepped off the landing craft in " The Longest Day " announcing to all and sundry that "he was back"!
What the Americans failed to appreciate - and still do not, is that those two books on which the films were made, were written by a Southern Irishman who hated the British but was advisor to the Director - he died however before "The Bridge" and his widow took over!
She was just as bad - as was the "driver" for Eisenhower who was always denigrated as British -and did her share - but was in fact from Southern Ireland!
They don't learn much - even given time! Glad you enjoy my postings - we did have a lot of humour - at times!
We are obviously of like mind. What a great pity that future generations will be "educated" by popular images from film etc and not by a record of the actual events.
However, I suppose that was always the case. There's apparantly a Richard society which campaigns to put right his historical record as we all are tainted by the image that Shakespear gave us when he was writing for the victors of the wars of the roses.
Roger The fact that History is no longer taught with any convictions appears to have given the US people the idea that inasmuch as they have won every war and other fracas - they seem determined not only to not finish them e.
Iran appears to be next on the list! Blessed John Wayne is surely next for Canonisation! You'd better beleive it!!!
What a pity Arnie can't become President, then he could zap everyone the US can't make a profit from!!! My biggest worry is that they seem to be hell bent on trying to prove that the fiction they sell themselves, could actually be true!.
For once I do have to say that I admire and I say this with some caution the French for their determination not to do what the US tells them!. We've drifted well away from WW11 but let's hope that those who do run the country will learn from real history and make sure that future generations appreciate what really happened so that some grip on reality remains in the future.
I beleive that this site will go a long way to ensure that. The BBC is to be congratulated for providing an enduring legacy for people to research.
After all no one except the US wants to see the continuation of needless killing of human beings. Dear Roger - I'm not too sure that politicians learn anything beyond their own immediate and future needs.
We have a situation over here with the "friendly" neighbours to the south where they have been applying unfair - according to NAFTA - WTO etc - duties to our shipments of lumber as the inefficient lumber producers in the US of A cannot match us - they have also inflicted a ban on all shipments of beef as they actually found one cow with the mad cow disease which had been born in Alberta - they can't find 50, illegal immigrants - but they found ONE cow!
They already steal all our fish from all three coasts! Now our Federal Govt. Many of us say to turn off the oil tap - the natural gas tap - and the electric switch, and see how long they can argue in the cold and dark, however we are all enjoying a very welcome early spring and so the window of opportunity for the big switch off is closing fast!
Which is a pity as they now have time to change the goal posts once more and the lwyers can have another field day!
After a fair bit of snow , around 6cms, last week we now have sunny warm 20deg and blue sunshine here. Don't you just miss British weather?
Yet, as his defence points out, Saddam Hussein was a "Good Guy" at the time, having been put in power by US support and supplied with "advisors" arms etc by them to fight the Iranians!!!
