The Nuremberg Raid (book)
- The Nuremberg Raid (book)
The Nuremberg Raid (subtitled: "30-31 March 1944") is a book by the British military historian Martin Middlebrook describing the RAF Bomber Command attack on the German city of Nuremberg on the night of 30–31 March 1944.
The raid was significant as being the costliest in terms of aircraft losses that RAF Bomber Command suffered in a single night attack during the Second World War.
During the raid the British lost 96 bombers shot down and a further 10 written-off after landing, making a total of 106 aircraft lost. In addition, Nuremberg suffered comparatively light damage and the raid has since come to be seen by historians as a comparative failure.
The book attempts to give a non-partisan account and goes into great detail about the raid, including interviews with participants from both sides.
