ANNEX In the following report we assess the effect on the Germans of a succession of heavy air attacks on Berlin in conjunction with the Russian offensive, taking into account the timing of such attacks. Scale of Attacks 2. We have based the paper on the assumption that the British and American strategic bomber forces could deliver against Berlin, over a period of four days and nights, a succession of attacks, dropping an aggregate bomb load of upwards of 25,000 tons. We have taken into account, however, that this scale of attack might not be achieved owing to higher priorities.
