Peenemunde, Hamburg, Helgoland, Bremen

In July 1943 the U.S. and British bombers started the operation Ghomorrah the objective of which was to inflict as much damage as possible on industrial, military as well as civilan targets in Hamburg. The operation lasted for a week and it represented the largest bombing raid ever at that time. The U.S. aircraft carried out their task during the day and the British ones during the night. I wanted to get a better feel for how it could look like during the bombing 70 years ago so I flew over the centre of Hamburg in a similar way the bombers must have done. Since I had some time left you can also see some interesting footage of other places related to WWII – Bremen, Peenemunde and the island of Helgoland.
