Why did the Blitz happen?

Germany tried to destroy our weapons and make us give up - we didn't.

How you would stay safe ?

When Germany were preparing to drop a bomb, an alarm would go off throughout every city that was bombed.

When this alarm would go off, people hid in anderson shelters(in 1942 morrison shelters were used aswell). If you were out, there were shelters in underground train staions.Children were evacuated, to the countryside. So the Germans couldn't see us,We turned all the lights off: car lights,street lights and house lights.

Did you know? Hitler was Austrian not German.The worst air raid was in Coventry.2 thirds of it were destroyed.200 separate fires burned the city.
