Proved they could do it. Probably not much damage to the German war
effort
except for the MAJOR damage to Hermann Meyers (goering) reputation.


I suspect John was referring to the raid in late August 1940
where bombs were droped on Berlin. This is often
said to have been a response to German bombers
dropping bombs on south London (Croydon)

In fact the reality is more mundane. Both aircraft
were simply off target when thet dropped their
bombs. The RAF aircraft were attemting to attack
a military airfield and the Siemens factory
