The Allied bombing of Germany during World War II aimed to weaken the German war effort and disrupt industrial production. From 1940 to 1945, the Royal Air Force and the United States Army Air Forces conducted extensive bombing campaigns targeting key cities, factories, and transportation networks. Major cities like Berlin, Dresden, and Hamburg faced significant destruction. These bombing raids resulted in substantial civilian casualties and damage to infrastructure. The strategy sought to demoralize the German population and force the government to divert resources from the front lines. Ultimately, the bombing campaigns contributed to the Allies' victory in Europe by crippling Germany's ability to sustain the war.
