The forgotten offensive of the title is RAF Coastal Command's
offensive against German sea-trade between 1940 and 1945. RAF
Coastal Command is more usually known for its anti-submarine
campaign, but while engaged in these operations it was also making
a true offensive against the enemy's merchant shipping in
north-west European waters. Germany relied on foreign sources of
supply for most of its vital raw materials, the most important of
which was Swedish iron ore, which had to be brought by ship to
Germany. Although Britain was aware of this weakness in German
war-making capacity long before war broke out, RAF Coastal Command
lacked the necessary equipment to attack it.
