The red line : the gripping story of the RAF's bloodiest raid on Hitler's Germany
Nichol, John, 1963-2014
Books, Manuscripts
A line of red string stretched over the North Sea and across Germany, veering south to the target. 'Gentlemen,' the Navigation Officer said. 'Tonight your target is Nuremberg.' More RAF men died on this single operation than during the whole of the four-month-long Battle of Britain. 30 March 1944 was the night when everything conspired agains the men of Bomber Command. Piecing together the dramatic stories of these young flyers - the fledgling crews and the veterans, the survivors and the fallen - former RAF flight lieutenant John Nicol meticulously reconstructs one of the Second World War's most dangerous operations, the Nuremberg Raid.
