Towards the end of the Battle of Britain the Luftwaffe turned their attention from RAF airfields towards strategic targets, like aircraft factories and dockyards. During one such raid on the 24th August 1940 German aircraft strayed over London and released their bombs. The British retaliated by bombing Berlin the following night, which acted as a trigger for the Luftwaffe to attack British cities day and night. The 29th of December 1940 was a terrible night that would be remembered as “The Second Great Fire of London”. On that night 136 Luftwaffe planes dropped 24,000 incendiary devices and 120 tonnes of high explosives, resulting in the deaths of 163 people and the destruction of most of the buildings within one square mile around St Paul’s Cathedral, the main target of the raid. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSee more\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56448292716918,"sku":"8717496853271","price":6.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_2000202_42003_jpg_fd53e46e-2413-416f-a0cc-6af7d80aab84.jpg?v=1760441034","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/8717496853271-blitz-attack-on-london","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
