London's War Part 2: The Blitz

PLEASE NOTE: This title has been re-released as 'The Blitz: Life in the War Pt2' (TRNC13)

On 7th September 1940, more than eight hundred German aeroplanes flew up the Thames towards the docks.  It was the opening salvo of the Blitz.  For nine months the Luftwaffe brought terror to London, wiping whole areas from the map. Water and gas supplies ceased to function, and local governments struggled to cope as families were bombed out.  Ordinary people faced this carnage with extraordinary courage and resilience.

 This is the story of London’s War – told by those who were there.
