London Blitz

The London Blitz refers to the German bombing campaign against London and other British cities during World War II, primarily from September 1940 to May 1941. Aimed at crippling Britain’s morale and war efforts, the Luftwaffe (German Air Force) conducted nighttime air raids, causing significant destruction and civilian casualties. Despite the devastation, Londoners demonstrated resilience, often returning to businesses and daily life amid the bombings. The Blitz ultimately failed to achieve its strategic goals, bolstering British determination and contributing to the eventual Allied victory in the war.
