The Last Blitz: Operation Steinbock, the Luftwaffe's Last Blitz on Britain
- January to May 1944 (Hardcover) by Ron Mackay

To most people, the 'Blitz' lasted from September 1940 to May 1941. However, in December 1943, the Code-Breakers at Bletchley Park received intelligence that the Luftwaffe's bombers were gathering for a major new operation. The Luftwaffe named the campaign attacks Operation Steinbock and committed 524 bombers, including 46 He177 'Greif' four-engined heavy bombers making a debut over Britain. The RAF was now far better equipped to deal with the new attack with 127 Mosquitos and the anti-aircraft guns were also radar directed. In the evening of 21 January 227 bombers took off bound for London.
