The Blitz: London at War

The 'Blitz' was the sustained campaign of aerial bombing attacks on British towns and cities carried out by the Luftwaffe from September 1940 until May 1941. London was targeted more than any other city in the UK, and I will walk you through the significant city sites, reviewing the themes and topics of that critical time in the Second World War. I’ll show you shrapnel damage, we’ll talk about the civilian response, the difference between the British and Luftwaffe planes.
