Description
‘The Few’ had defended Britain against the might of the Luftwaffe. Then, on September 7, 1940, everything changed. Instead of the duel for airfields, the target of the bombers was London. The Blitz had begun. For two months, London was systematically attacked. Then the bombing spread to Liverpool, Bristol, Cardiff, Hull, Birmingham, and Belfast, among many. Coventry was hit so hard that propaganda coined a new word – Coventrieren – to flatten a city.

With sections on the life in the shelters, Britain’s air raid defenses, bomb disposal and the darker side of the Blitz – looting. This must-read, special publication from the makers of Britain at War magazine looks back to discover what life was really like in late 1940.
