A total of 13,689 aircraft were dispatched to Ruhr targets during the campaign of which 652 or 4.8% were lost. Some attacks were highly effective causing severe and extensive damage but others resulted in only scattered bombing due to technical or weather related problems. During the campaign approximately 17,500 people on the ground were killed, tens of thousands of houses destroyed and hundreds of thousands of people were bombed out as well as damage caused to the industrial capacity of the Ruhr.
