Bombing of Cologne in World War II

The German city of Cologne was bombed in 262 separate air raids[1] by the Allies during World War II, all by the Royal Air Force (RAF). A total of 34,711 long tons (35,268 t) of bombs were dropped on the city,[2] and 20,000 civilians died during the war in Cologne due to aerial bombardments.[3]

While air raid alarms had gone off in the winter and spring of 1940 as British bombers passed overhead, the first bombing took place on 12 May 1940.[4] The attack on Cologne during the night from 30 to 31 May 1942 was the first thousand-bomber raid.
