list of USAAF WWII raids, that was copied from USAF History Publications & wwii combat chronology (pdf). All files, are available as a ZIP archive in html format, and a ZIP archive in simple text format: ZIP archive in html format, and a ZIP archive in simple text format
I found the following dates when searching the archive for Bremen:

I have turned the second column back into a bomber command column. The whole point of the column is to allow the reader to view the raids by Bomber Command as well by the default of chronology. -- PBS ( talk) 12:10, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
I think it is a retrograde step for the reader of the article to group all the Web pages of the RAF Diary and the "Combat Chronology of the USAAF" into one reference. Although it is more work for the editor it is much better to structure the citation so it includes only the specific web page needed to source the attack. -- PBS ( talk) 12:10, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Dab replace one instance of [[gee]] with [[GEE (navigation)|GEE]], and replace 2nd mention of gee with unlinked GEE. This is surely uncontroversial, and is unrelated to the dispute occasioning current prot.

What's happening here. Why is this page protected and what is being done to resolve the situation? GraemeLeggett ( talk) 10:07, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
There has been an edit war, with one of the participants not participating in a discussion on the talk page. [1] [2] The problems revolve around three points.
We are still waiting for Mugs2109 to respond on this talk page to any of these issues despite requests by Onejob and myself on Mugs2109's talk page to discuss these issues. [3] -- PBS ( talk) 10:48, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
I think that to move on here and bring the edit protection to an end we have to show what this article needs. Leaving aside formatting issues around the timeline for the moment lets look at structure then content.
Any opinions on this sort of content? GraemeLeggett ( talk) 11:54, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
Since Mugs2109 talk page carries the request to make posts to discuss on the relevant article talkpage, I've copied this from his talk page to here

When I was a child, my late mother told me stories of how she survived a bombing of Bremen and other places that I no longer recall (all of this was 40 years ago). I have recently inherited her photo collection, and amongst those photos are her standing among bombed out ruins, which I suspect are of Bremen. I can scan these photos and post them. Maybe someone can identify where they are taken?
Is this a good idea? 124.176.91.185 ( talk) 10:30, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
Misleading intro. What does this mean ? Over years of war the same, static defense force ? 35 must be a snapshot, refering to a certain date. -- Oerntie ( talk) 10:06, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
The heaviest bombings of Bremen. Forgotten to be mentioned here - ? -- Oerntie ( talk) 10:21, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
- I came to say the same thing. 75 years ago today and its all over the German press. How is this missing? I Hate Banner adds ( talk) 07:45, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

That was “VIII Bomber Command Mission 159”; it was also the first use of Chaff on an 8th AF mission. Also on that very bomb run the " Charlie Brown and Franz Stigler incident" took place, and there were a lot of Medals of Honour awards, eg for Staff Sergeant Forrest Lee Vosler. 2003:DC:F745:6900:19C:CBA2:C7B5:F069 ( talk) 18:14, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
