The U.S. 8th Air Force and the R.A.F. leveled Cologne. They bombed night and day for four years. The final blow was struck by army artillery followed by the 104th Infantry with the 3rd Armor Division “Spearhead”.
The city was alive with German snipers, machine guns, bazookas, and 88mm howitzers with prowling Tiger tanks. After three days of heavy street fighting, they finally captured the third largest city in Germany; complete by March 7.
