The Schweinfurt-Regensburg raids in Germany were a series of attacks by B-17 Flying Fortress and B-24 Liberator bombers of the United States Air Force in August and October 1943 during the Second World War (1939-45). Schweinfurt had several ball-bearing factories, and Regensburg had Messerschmitt aircraft plants, making both targets crucial to Germany's war effort.
