Firemen seen here fighting the fire at the Queens Hotel in Hertford Street, Coventry, before deciding to blow the building up to prevent the fire spreading to the Post Office following the previous nights air raid. During the raid 4, 330 homes were destroyed also three-quarters of the citys factories were damaged along with the citys tram system, with tram lines ripped from the ground or arched into the air. Out of a fleet of 181 buses only 73 remained. Most of the citys gas and water pipes were smashed and people were advised to boil emergency supplies of water. Amongst the devastation lay the bodies of 554 men, women and children many of whom were never identified also 865 people were injured. During the raid the Luftwaffe had dropped 30, 000 incendiary bombs, 500 tons of high explosive, 50 landmines and 20 oil-mines. The raid had gone on non-stop for almost eleven hours. The world had never previously witnessed this sort of airborne destruction before and the Germans coined a new word for it coventrated.
