The city was founded by Charlemagne, between 808 and 811. He built a church and a citadel on the heights of the Elbe. Next to Berlin, it is the largest city of Germany and outranke the capital in commercial and manufacturing importance. Such an attack as reported would mean that the French aviators flew more than 375 miles from the nearest point in the French lines to Hamburg. Such a raid is unparalleled in the history of aviation. If the report is true and the French aerop! were o' Ham burg, they might have been within striking distance of Berlin.
