At 13:00 hours on 22 February, a massive operation was unleased against road and rail facilities throughout Germany. Some 9,000 aircraft took part operating over the area of Emden-Berlin-Dresden-Vienna-Mulhouse. The aim of the operation was destruction of all communications facilities-marshalling yards, rail facilities and crossings, garages, canal locks and road junctions-in short, any destruction which could cause interference with the communications system."
