What was “The Blitz”? Bombing Raids Hitler believed that by targeting civilians he could force the British to surrender and on 7th September 1940 began his daily bombing campaign. London was the main target but other major cities were also bombed. Casualties were high. On the first day of bombing 430 people were killed and 1,600 badly injured. Within a few weeks the daily bombing raids had become nightly raids. Hitler decided to make the bombing raids at night to increase the 'fear factor' and also to make people weaker by not allowing them to sleep properly. People in London slept in underground stations for protection.

How reliable is each Source in telling us what the people of London were like during the Blitz? SOURCE A “Hitler expects to terrorise and cow the people of this mighty city… Little does he know the spirit of the British nation, or the tough fibre of the Londoners.” Winston Churchill, radio broadcast 11th September 1940. SOURCE B “All reports from London are agreed that the population is seized by fear. The Londoners have completely lost their self-control.” Nazi-controlled French radio broadcast, 18th September 1940.

About The Blitz The Blitz was intense bombing of British cities. It was meant to break the morale of British civilians. At first the raids happened in daylight. But Germany lost so many bombers they had to bomb at night. Radar and air sirens gave people warning of most raids so they had time to get into the shelters. People would shelter in public air raid shelters, shelters in their own home or garden and even in the London Underground. To keep people’s hopes up, Government news films and press releases talked about the bravery and fighting spirit of civilians. Reports were censored if they gave numbers or photographs of the dead. During the war as a whole German bombing killed about 60,000 British civilians. It is worth remembering that even in the worst of the Blitz normal life went on. People still went to work and daily life went on as normal.
