Bombing of Bremen in World War II

The Bombing of Bremen in World War II by the British Royal Air Force (RAF) and US Eighth Air Force involved both area bombing and, as capacity improved, more targeted raids upon the city's military-industrial facilities. These included the shipyards of Vulkan, AG Weser and Atlas Werke, the Valentin submarine pens, oil refineries and the aircraft works of Focke-Wulf.
