I wonder what the RAF was trying to hit in Poland. Those Tallboys were massive bombs. A couple hits with those took out the Bismark’s sister ship the Tirpitz.

A German “pocket battleship” was being repaired there.

[Alas Babylon!]

At the time the bomb was dropped, the area was German territory.

The Soviets actually moved the entire nation of Poland westward, giving them a huge chunk of Eastern Germany.

“The Piast Canal connects the Baltic Sea with the Oder River on Poland’s border with Germany. The bomb was dropped by the RAF in 1945 in an attack on the German cruiser Lutzow.”
