The reopening of a steel plant so close to the front lines is fascinating. No idea that occurred.

the main guns could elevate to 30 degrees. which works out to around 18000ft at 6 miles. Service ceiling for a Lancaster is around 21,000 ft but the attack was made at around 14,000 ft. so the guns were a threat.

3:45 - I didn't know that the allies were already getting industrial output up and going again in the liberated areas. Would love to see more about liberated areas as they went from occupied to liberated and started recovering. Especially about advance airbases - long range bombers had to continue flying out of England due to supply logistics, that I get, but their escort fighters would have been able to form up with the bombers from bases much closer to the German homeland, allowing them to swap out the need for extreme range with increased time over target.
