Why did the Germans choose to bomb during the day? One of the simplest reasons is that the bombing effect during the day is very good. Being able to confirm your target with the naked eye and flying over the target with a denser formation is the best guarantee for hit accuracy for the 1939 bombing.
More than 150 aircraft flew over the two largest and most important airports deployed by the Allies in Iceland in a dense formation. The most direct result was that these two major airports were in ruins. Another 110 aircraft were responsible for attacking the Icelandic port, which also brought it back to the Stone Age.
The remaining more than 100 planes bombed major cities in Iceland, dropping incendiary bombs and aviation bombs in these cities, blasting almost all the inhabited places on Iceland into a sea of ​​fire. More than half of the infrastructure was scrapped, and the 100,000 British people who escaped were also hit as never before.
There is an old saying in Europe called: When the weak spurs the strong, it is nothing more than saying cool words, and once the strong starts to retaliate against the weak, it will make the weak completely finished. The Germans apparently had the means to completely end Iceland, and now they began to retaliate, so the disaster facing Iceland began to pervade.
In order to increase the voyage, the weight of the bombs carried by the German butcher bombers was reduced a lot. Each of these aircraft carried more than 3 tons of bombs, but the total number of bombs that more than 300 aircraft can drop also exceeded 1,000 tons. . These bombs allowed the Germans to reserve and transport them for several days, only to lose these bombers for less than half an hour.
This is the power of science and technology. For the first time, humans have such terrible abilities in war. They can use their wisdom to throw thousands of tons of bombs to a place 2,000 kilometers away, destroying everything there to the dark medieval era and even worse.
Looking at the German bombers going away, all the British soldiers and American officials in Iceland felt a sudden burst of relief felt all over the body. They were glad that they were still alive, and they were glad that the enemy's bombardment attack was finally over.
The sound of a series of explosions everywhere, the fire devoured the house, beating like a monster, destroying everything it could encounter. The oil depot deployed by the Allied Forces has completely become a fire site, and almost all of the hundreds of B-17 bombers parked in the airport were destroyed.
Without detailed investigation, as long as the eyes are not blind, you can see everything destroyed. Just ask the panicking soldiers and you will know that the whole of Iceland is over, and it is completely over.
Three radar stations were destroyed. The radar equipment deployed in the reinforced concrete structure was completely destroyed by aerial bombs. These radar stations were too close to other infrastructure, and they were completely affected by the bombs dropped casually.
The city was also destroyed by the sudden German bombing. Reykjavik, which was full of British refugees, was attacked by more than 40 German bombers. Hundreds of tons of bombs were thrown into the city, where it lacked air defense facilities. Thousands of people were killed in time.
The most tragic are the military bases and airport facilities heavily constructed by the British. They were attacked by nearly half of the German bombers and dropped nearly 500 tons of various bombs. The entire airport was filled with smoke, the German aircraft had been flying away for a long time, and the explosions continued.
Tens of thousands of tons of fuel from the US military were ignited and exploded, detonating several ammunition storage sites stacked on the bright surface. Like firecrackers, these arms also exploded, and then ignited more fragile buildings and destroyed everything nearby.
It is impossible to continue to use the flat runway. Even if you want to repair it, it will take a lot of work. The reinforced concrete command center and tower that were finally built were almost destroyed by this bombing. That's it-some buildings have half left, or they are covered with cracks. Who dares to continue to use such a place?
It is unlikely that the Icelandic base will continue to be used for at least two months. The most optimistic estimate is that it will take more than a dozen fleet supplies to arrive before it can be restored to its original level of use. This time, the British could be regarded as broken, and the outposts they managed so hard were just as easily destroyed by the Germans.
Compared with the record of the Allied bombing of Norway, Germany ’s bombing of Iceland is really "you raise my body, I tear down your two bones", the only thing that is worthy of the American side is that they did blow up part of the Norwegian production equipment And Germany can only lose its temper at an Icelandic base that has no production capacity.
"The loss assessment will not come out until later, but from the current situation, we are almost losing everything." Hugh Dowding told several British ministers what had just happened: "The port side I ’m not quite sure, here at the Air Force Base, it ’s almost scrapped.

"The loss on the port side is very large, and we need time to repair it." Although the navy commander General Dudley Bond's headquarters is located in Iceland, here he is only a downright commander-in-chief. The navy's main fleet is now deployed in Canada, and it's easy to dare to go to the sea east of Iceland.
"Your Majesty, it is fortunate that the spare airport in the northwest and several temporary ports there have not been attacked by the enemy. As long as the United States and Canada continue to provide assistance, it is still possible to maintain it." Hugh? General Ding said thankfully to King George VI, who was still uneasy. The bombing more than an hour ago was more desperate than the terrible London bombing, because after all, the German planes were bigger than they were when they bombed Britain.
At that time, the aircraft of the German Air Force patrolling British airspace was still dominated by the relatively small and medium-sized aircraft such as do-217. Only a few times, the butcher bomber was used. As a result, after more than a year of accumulation, the Luftwaffe was able to deliver more than 300 butcher bombers to a remote place such as Iceland. This had to shock King George, who was in Iceland, and his neck seemed to be sent to the German butcher again.
The loss of fighter planes is not large, but the loss of pilots is really desperate. Part of the pilots who escaped from the British mainland were lost in the North African battle, and some were deployed in Canada. A small amount went to India to help Although there are more than 100 people in the combat operations against the Japanese army in Iceland, in this air defense operation, 21 people were lost, and 4 of them were valuable jet fighter pilots.
The remaining 80 pilots have more than 30 old-fashioned fighters that have only passed the hurricane. It is not that they are not allowed to fly new aircraft, but that the US ’s p-40 production is insufficient, and most of them are sent to the Pacific battlefield, and The Japanese navy fights away.
The main reason for not deploying so many fighter planes in Iceland is because almost no attack of any kind by the Germans has occurred here. In line with the idea of ​​being frugal and frugal, a few months ago, he also deployed dozens of fighters to fight in the Pacific theater. Even if the production capacity is as strong as the United States, production pressure is felt at this time. After all, most of the Allied equipment is now produced in the United States.
"Strengthe the fighter forces here! Spend some more from Canada!" King George apparently still had a lingering fear about the bombing just now, although he had a good bomb shelter as an underground hideout, but after all, the destroyed city in front of him really made him Insecure.
"There are not many fighters that can be accommodated in the spare airport. If the US military wants to continue bombing Norway ... I think our fighter force can only increase by about 30 more." Hugh Dowtin reluctantly answered his king's request: "IMHO, even if these aircraft are all the latest p-40 Rolls-Royce modified, the threat to the German bombers is not great."
King George VI of England fixed his gaze on Dowtin ’s face, and finally reduced his anger from the edge of the outbreak. He looked at his Air Force commander and squeezed out of his teeth: "So ! My general! You have to think of ways to avoid being blown up by the Germans again? "
Suddenly the ground shivered slightly, and everyone looked out of the window in horror. At the end of the mountains in the distance, a ray of green smoke went up to the sky. The island of Iceland is full of various volcanoes, even when it is safe and sound, it erupts once or twice from time to time. The nearest volcano on the brink of eruption is only 125 kilometers from Reykjavik, Iceland ’s largest city ...
"They ... why don't you throw some bombs into those volcanoes ..." Wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, a government official in a suit, asked with some fear.
"Who knows." Hugh Dowding looked at His Majesty the King who hadn't taken his gaze, and said, "I will order several troops stationed in Canada to gather in Iceland to mobilize as many better planes as possible. , Set up here to kill those German planes. "
He had to change his strategy, because who knows that after several large-scale bombings, the bombs dropped by German planes will actually detonate an active volcano-that would be more thorough than dozens of bombings, it is estimated Everything in Iceland will disappear in time.
Just as the British were cleaning up the mess on Iceland, the German bombers had flown past the German submarine navigating them halfway. Because there were no enemy aircraft to catch up with, the hundreds of fw-190d fighters that had been waiting here had already returned early . The pilot German commander finally relaxed and sent an exciting message on the radio: "We are home!"
