More WWII Trivia - Luftwaffe

[dcunning30]

What was the name of the last great Luftwaffe air attack as mandated by Hitler himself?  And what was the purpose of this attack?

BTW, not the V weapons.

[Felix/FFDS]

Without looking it up - Bodenplatte - ramming attacks against the Allied bombers ??


Edit#1 - Looked it up;  it wasn't ramming attacks thought the purpose was similar.

[dcunning30]

We have a winner!  Boldenplatte indeed!

Hitler had hoped the Luftwaffe would be able to lend a hand to the Wermacht during the Battle of the Bulge by destroying allied fighters on the ground by mounting a suprise attack on allied airfields.  All it accomplished was to attrit out an already thinning Luftwaffe.

WTF?

WTF?

You told him not to rely on others; to comply, he can't use Google unless he is responsible for all of Google's information.
