The RAF raid on Berlin was intentional. It was ordered the day after a German flight of bombers dropped their bomb loads on a London suburb. That bombing was by accident. The bomber flight got lost is heavy weather, decided to dump their bomb loads and return to base. The did not realize that they bombed a civilian area.

Thanks for the info. I do remember reading about an RAF raid early in the war, where German civilians were mistakenly bombed. Perhaps that was a minor incident.
