The bombing of Bamberg were a series of British and American aerial bombing attacks on the city of Bamberg during World War II. A total of nine air raids were held by the Royal Air Force and United States Army Air Forces in 1944 and 1945 as part of the Allied campaign of strategic bombing of Germany. However, unlike nearby Nuremberg, the city itself escaped major damage. Today, the historical city center is a UNESCO Heritage Site.
