"Operation Gomorrah was RAF Bomber Command's attempt in 1943 to obliterate Hamburg, Germany's great northern port city. The bombers returned night after night, pulverising what was already rubble, whipping up a terrible firestorm and creating a holocaust so appalling that rescuers could only watch, helpless, from outside the city. An estimated 42,000 people died and 22 square kilometres of the city were incinerated."--Jacket.
