The Bombing of the Major Cities of Britain in 1940-1

Bombing the British major cities in 1940 - After France collapsed in June 1940, Hitler directed his attention to the UK, and the only intention of his mind was "invasion". To do this, Hitler needed to control the skies in the UK. The explosion started at the airport, harbor and radar base. The German Air Force was ordered to crush the British Air Force to allow German vessels to invade across the waterway. Later on September 7, 1940, when the British Air Force left, the Germans decided to bombard all major cities in the UK.

By targeting civilians, Hitler believes that it can surrender to England on September 7, 1940 and start daily bombing operations. London is the main target, but other major cities are also bombed. There are many casualties and injuries. On the first day of the explosion, 430 people were killed and 1,600 people were seriously injured. Most towns have public shelters, but many towns have built Anderson protected areas in the garden to protect them when they can not access public shelters. Anderson shelter is made of corrugated cardboard, it is very strong. After digging the hole in the garden, place a shelter in the hole and cover it with soil. When an attack is about to begin, a bombing warning warns people

That decision was to start from the daytime and focus on the bombing of the British industrial city. The main focus is London. The first major raid was held on September 7th. On September 15, the day when it was known as the British War Anniversary, a massive raid started on that day, but suffered a great loss due to unrelenting benefits. Several large aerial battles were held during the day of this month and the day of October, but the German Air Force changed the main work to a night attack. This became the official policy on 7th of October. The air raid soon began to face London and other British cities. However, the German Air Force faces the limit. The aircraft - Dornier Do 17, Junkers Ju 88 and Heinkel He 111s - can carry out strategic missions but can not do more damage due to the small bomb load

In the beginning of 1940, German aircraft quickly acquired air dominance in France and made it possible for the German Air Force to start a strategic bombing of British cities. Using the French airport near the British Strait, Germans were able to raid London and other cities during the electric shock. And we have had various degrees of success. After the First World War, the concept of a massive bombing that "bombers pass forever" has become very popular with politicians and military leaders. Germany has developed a bomber to achieve this goal (the wings of the French bombers are seriously ignored and German bombers are explicitly prohibited by the Treaty of Versailles and are secretly developed )
