The bombing of Talheim (Vierz: Luftangriffe auf Talheim; Luepolan: Bombardovaňie Talhajma), also known in Vierzland as the Talheim Catastrophe (Vierz: Talheimische Katastrophe), was a series of Luepolan bombing raids on the city of Talheim, a large city and prominent logistics hub within the Vierz Empire in the Great War. Over the course of a week, Luepolan People's Air Force dropped thousands of tonnes of explosives and incendiary devices on the city, including chemical weapons on 28 and 29 September, with the dual objectives of neutralizing Talheim as a logistical hub in advance of Luepola's planned conquest of Kasenberg and terrorizing the Vierz populace to break Vierz morale. The bombing constituted the most concentrated use of chemical weapons in the Great War.
