- Synopsis:
From early September 1940 air raids on London took place almost every night, as the Luftwaffe dropped hundreds of tonnes of bombs on the capital. Atypical raid involved 100 to 200 bombers dropping around 200 tonnes of high explosive and 300 incendiaries, although there were raids involving 300 and 400 planes with more than double the amount of bombs dropped. The resilience of Londoners in the face of this nightly onslaught has passed into legend, as ordinary men, women and children showed amazing courage just by carrying on with their daily lives in spite of the nightly bombing raids. This programme tells the story of the horrific nightly bombardment which lasted from 7th September 1940 to 10th May 1941. - Studio:
