Alarmstart für Geschwader Braddock

The Thousand Plane Raid (also known as The One Thousand Plane Raid[2]) is a 1969 DeLuxe Color film directed by Boris Sagal and starring Christopher George and Laraine Stephens.[3] Although claimed to be derived from Ralph Barker's The Thousand Plane Raid (also published as The Thousand Plan: the Story of the First Thousand Bomber Raids on Cologne), the storyline of the film inaccurately portrays the first raid as an 8th Air Force mission while the actual attack was undertaken by 1,047 Royal Air Force bombers against the city of Cologne, Germany in May 1942.[4]
