Operation Gommorah (bombing of Hamburg)


===**Operation Gommorah was an aerial bombing campaign on Hamburg, Germany. Not only did it leave thousands homeless, but it also made the Nazi leaders realize that if this continued in other cities, Germany could potentially be taken out of the war. From July 24 to August 3, Hamburg was continuously bombed. This caused about 10 square miles of Hamburg to be turned into rubble. Although it was a relatively small operation, the Allies considered it a success (About.com Operation Gommorah).**===

===**The deception involved the Ghost Army, who used inflatable tanks an wooden planes to deceive the Germans, as well as attacks on German emplacements in Fortitude NORTH and Fortitude SOUTH (Enotes.com Operation Bodyguard).**===
