The Blitz – main facts: The Blitz, from German: lightning Bombing of British cities (september 1940 – May 1941) By Nov 1940, over a quarter of London’s population had left the city Blackout: lights not allowed after dark for 6 years + 1 million London houses destroyed or damaged + 40 000 civilians killed Image: national solidarity

Churchill’s legend – the War Speeches surprising arrival in power embodiment of war spirit against Hitler very early: when Appeasement failed, his continuing denunciations of Nazism appeared as a visionary. PM from 1940 to 1945: embodiment of the UK at war Astonishing defeat in 1945: desire to return to normalcy Image not stained by later political activity Memory made easy by his talent for public communication: cigar, military uniforms, bowler hat, writing talent, victory sign Churchill, 1945
