Discover the incredible WWII story of Operation Gomorrah, the absurdly simple weapon made of aluminum foil that shattered Hitler's entire radar shield. Learn how British scientists turned the tide of the air war with a top-secret invention codenamed "Window," the technology now known as Chaff.

By 1943, Nazi Germany's air defense, the Kammhuber Line, seemed invincible. Using a sophisticated network of Würzburg and Freya radars, elite Luftwaffe night fighters were inflicting catastrophic losses on RAF Bomber Command, pushing the entire strategic bombing campaign to the brink of failure. This documentary delves deep into the desperate race against time as British scientific intelligence worked to find a weakness in Hitler's formidable radar fortress. This video is for anyone fascinated by military history, incredible feats of engineering, and the untold stories of WWII.
Witness the fateful night of Operation Gomorrah, when hundreds of bombers unleashed not just bombs, but tons of simple aluminum strips over Hamburg. We explore how this simple countermeasure completely paralyzed the German defenses, leading directly to one of the most destructive air raids in history and the creation of a terrifying firestorm. Through detailed analysis, this video explains the tactical decisions made by figures like Winston Churchill and Arthur Harris, the scientific principles behind chaff, and the harrowing human cost of this new form of electronic warfare. You will learn not only what happened, but precisely how a weapon costing pennies managed to defeat a multi-million-Reichsmark defense system.

The story of Window is more than just a single battle; it's the birth of modern electronic warfare. Learn how this "absurdly simple weapon" sparked a technological arms race between detection and deception that continues to define military aviation today. From the skies over WWII Germany to modern stealth technology and radar countermeasures, the principles first proven at Hamburg fundamentally changed the way wars are fought forever.
