During World War II, the city of Lübeck was the first German city to be attacked in substantial numbers by the Royal Air Force. The attack on the night of 28 March 1942 created a firestorm that caused severe damage to the historic centre, with bombs destroying three of the main churches and large parts of the built-up area. It led to the retaliatory "Baedeker" raids on historic British cities.

  • Der Luftangriff auf Lübeck der Royal Air Force in der Nacht zum Palmsonntag 1942 war der erste Angriff in Form eines Flächenbombardements eines deutschen Großstadtkerns durch das RAF Bomber Command im Zweiten Weltkrieg. Der Angriff markierte den Beginn der am 14. Februar 1942 beschlossenen Area Bombing Directive, nachdem anhand des Butt Report im August 1941 klar geworden war, dass zuvor taktische Ziele schlecht getroffen worden waren. Die Erinnerung Lübecks ist nicht an den Kalendertag 28./29. März, sondern an Palmarum mit den an diesem Tage stattfindenden Konfirmationen geknüpft. (de)

  • Le bombardement de Lübeck a eu lieu la nuit du dimanche des Rameaux 28 mars 1942 à Lübeck en Allemagne, pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Il a été commandé par la Royal Air Force. Ce fut le premier bombardement stratégique réussi à grande ampleur de la Royal Air Force Bomber Command. Il fallait désarticuler le tissu économique allemand et démoraliser les populations. Mais ce bombardement détruisit en grande partie le patrimoine artistique de la ville (ainsi l' sera en travaux jusqu'en 1987), et provoqua la mort de centaines de civils, tandis que les survivants perdirent bien souvent leur habitation.

  • Il bombardamento di Lubecca, condotto dal Bomber Command della RAF la notte del 28 marzo 1942, fu il primo bombardamento a tappeto riuscito sulla Germania nell'ambito di una campagna aerea pianificata per radere al suolo le città tedesche durante la seconda guerra mondiale disarticolando il tessuto economico, civile e morale del Terzo Reich. Esso cagionò un'estesa distruzione del patrimonio edilizio e artistico dell'antica città (la chiesa di San Pietro ad esempio fu finita di riparare solo nel 1987) e la morte di molti civili, mentre numerosi altri rimasero senza casa e lavoro.

  • Бомбардировка Любека — бомбардировка города, проведённая Королевскими военно-воздушными силами Великобритании 28—29 марта 1942 года. Налёт на Любек считается «ответом» Британии на бомбардировки Германией английских городов. С точки зрения британского командования, он тогда считался крупным успехом британской бомбардировочной авиации на немецкие города во Второй мировой войне. За налетом на Любек последовали налеты на Гамбург, Бремен и другие города Германии, вплоть до налета на Дрезден. (ru)
