Norwich Blitz (Images of War) Kindle Edition

by Martin W. Bowman (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 12 ratings
Norwich, in common with most English cities, suffered enemy air attack and during a period of almost three and a half years bombs were dropped in every part of the city. The first German raid occurred on Tuesday 8 July 1940; the last on 6 November 1943. The total number of Alerts during 1943 was 95 with a total duration of 54 hours. The Crash Warning was sounded 50 times with a total duration of 19 hours 8 minutes. There was no large devastated area but throughout the city considerable damage was caused. All sections of life were affected and factories, railway stations, shops, schools, hospitals and churches sustained damage and many buildings were totally ruined. Of the citys 35,569 houses in 1939, 2,082 were destroyed entirely, 2,651 were seriously damaged and 25,621 were moderately damaged. In human toll 340 people were killed and 1,092 injured, over three-quarters of these casualties occurring in 1942 when the enemy carried out what became known as the Baedeker Raids upon Cathedral cities and historic and administrative capitals of the provinces.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant impact on my 85 year old mum
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 16, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    Seemed a strange birthday gift and I hoped it wouldn't upset mum. Far from it, she has relished sharing her recollections with the aid of pictures to illustrate the experience. With nothing much going on on her life nowadays, it was a joy to see her do animated talking about the past.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 22, 2013

    This book contains many before unseen photos of the bomb damage in Norwich raids by German Luftwaffe,
    And gives an interesting time travel to that time.
