15th November 1940 Survivors from the previous nights bombing seen here walking through the wreckage of Coventry city centre. 15th November 1940. The raid was executed by 515 German bombers, two thirds from Luftflotte 3 and the rest from the pathfinders of Kampfgruppe 100. The attack, code-named Operation Mondlicht Sonaten (Moonlight Sonata), was intended to destroy Coventry's factories and industrial infrastructure, although it was clear that damage to the rest of the city, including monuments and residential areas, would be considerable.
