About the Book

Il bombardamento notturno di Bari del 2 dicembre 1943 fu un'azione spettacolare effettuata a bassa quota da velivoli della Luftwaffe, con lo scopo di attaccare le navi da trasporto di un importante convoglio che si trovava nel porto sotto scarico nei moli, e che era stato segnalato al mattino dalla ricognizione aerea tedesca. Bari era stata raggiunta dalle truppe britanniche l'11 settembre in seguito agli avvenimenti della resa dell'Italia, e gran parte dei rifornimenti che vi affluivano erano destinati all'8° Armata del generale Montgomery, e all'aviazione statunitense i cui bombardieri pesanti della 15a Air Force si erano installati negli aeroporti della Puglia, in particolare di Foggia, per battere da sud obiettivi tedeschi nella Germania e nei Balcani. La sera del 2 dicembre decollarono dagli aeroporti dell'Italia settentrionale 105 bombardieri Junker 88 di sei Gruppi da bombardamento e di essi 88 attaccarono l'obiettivo con effetti disastrosi per gli alleati, successo conseguito con la sola perdita di due Ju. 88. L'attacco causò gravi perdite agli anglo-americani, che non subivano un'incursione aerea di sorpresa cosi devastante dall'epoca in cui, il 7 dicembre 1941, i giapponesi avevano attaccato la flotta statunitense a Pearl Harbor. Le navi affondate a Bari, incluse quelle di piccolo tonnellaggio furono 21 ed altre 12 più o meno danneggiate. I relitti delle navi affondate causarono il blocco del porto per tre settimane, con il risultato che per sbarcare i rifornimenti necessari per l'approvvigionamento terrestre ed aereo, allo scopo di non ritardare l'avanzata in Italia, gli anglo-americani dovettero usare al massimo delle loro possibilità di attracco i porti di Brindisi e di Taranto. Particolarmente grave ed allarmante risultò l'affondamento per esplosione del carico delle munizioni la nave Liberty statunitense John Harvey, che trasportava anche 2.000 micidiali bombe all'iprite per 1.350 tonnellate, dalle cui stive fuoriuscirono una grande quantità di sostanze chimiche di quel micidiale gas tossico, che non solo contaminarono le acque del porto ma uccisero oltre 1.000 tra militari e i civili della zona, ciò che rappresentò uno dei più grandi disastri ecologici di ogni tempo.
