Little Blitz
February 1944, the Allies step up intense bombing on Berlin, Leipzig, Stuttgard and Schweinfurt. During this time the Nazis attempt to re-stage another Blitz against London but it quickly run out of steam. These attacks were known as the Little or Baby Blitz and were most intense between 18—25 of February.
