In World War Two, the most effective fighting units were usually small - submarine crews, infantry platoons, commandos, and bomber crews.

An account of the dramatic attack at Peenemunde is included as well as a host of accounts of the 3 December 1943 RAF bombing raid on Berlin.They work to create a real sense of precisely what 'round the clock' actually meant, as these concentrated attacks drained pilots of every ounce of energy they possessed.
