Berlin. 769 aircraft, 35 losses (4.6%). Once again the German controller was able to get fighters into the stream early on the approach and they scored steadily throughout the night until the stream left the mainland. The Germans had now learned not to be deceived by minor diversionary raids. Berlin was completely cloud covered and, although sky-marking went to plan and H2S sets showed that the east of the city was hit, Berlin recorded no bombing whatsoever. It is not clear whether this was deliberate concealment of the extent of the damage or whether the raid simply missed the city completely.
