Hamburg
Main German port in northern Germany: the Elbe River connects Hamburg to the North Sea.
From 24 July to 3 August 1943, the British air force carried out several intensive bombing raids on Hamburg.[1] Given these circumstances, it is logical that the city of Hamburg was mentioned in the Secret Annex.[2]
