Picture shows the ruins of a bombed out building in Bristol November 1940
Picture shows the ruins of a bombed out building in Bristol November 1940. In what became known as The Bristol Blitz.
The Bristol Blitz was the heavy bombing of Bristol, England, by the Nazi German Luftwaffe during the Second World War. Due to the presence of Bristol Harbour and the Bristol Aeroplane Company the city was a target for bombing, and was easily found as enemy bombers were able to trace a course up the River Avon from Avonmouth using reflected moonlight on the waters into the heart of the city. Bristol was the fifth most heavily bombed British city of World War II.
A German World War II 1 kilogram incendiary bomb dropped in clusters.
Between 24 November 1940 and 11 April 1941 there were six major bombing raids. In total Bristol received 548 air raid alerts and 77 air raids. 1, 299 people killed, 1, 303 seriously injured and 697 rescued from the debris of bombed buildings.
