War Room: The Bohlen Raid, 1945 is out for Patrons!
🕑 Added 2025-10-03 07:00:06 +0000 UTCWell, somewhat delayed by BAOR, here we are. I had intended to do this all the way back when I was writing the episode about strategic bombing, so I can cross it off my list. Actually finding photos of the radar and EW kit in action was a bit of a pain, so there's less of it than I would have liked, but hopefully it gets the point across.
It did almost get canned in favour of something else, but I'm still quietly busy with other stuff and making some improvements to this was much quicker than starting something else from scratch.

I really enjoyed this. Your attention to detail and friendly way of presenting material shines through as always.

I think it will be some time before we get all the details about the current conflict. Not least because I assume a lot of Ukraine's targeting and BDA comes via HUMINT that they won't want to expose. Not so much a big thing for the RAF

All I knew of RAF Bomber Command’s methods was the city-bombing caricature. Thank you for this very, very educational video. How many years will it be before someone can make an equally credible video about one of Russia’s big drone/missile attacks in the current war?

Really enjoyed that video. I'm a fan of the air war in WWII and yet I didn't know how complex the night bombing campaign by the RAF had gotten. Very impressive. I'll have to read up on this, thanks!
