- Hull has been named the UK's city of culture 2017, the second to receive the title after Liverpool in 2014. As part of the celebrations a projection has been created named Made in Hull which looks back on the Cities rich history. In this video we see the part of the projection which simulates a second world war bombing raid over Victoria Square and the City Center. Hull was one of the hardest hit cities during the Blitz period of the second world war, although this part of the cities history is often sadly over looked in favour of cities such as London and Coventry which where also flattened by the Luftwaffe during the war.
And after all that the people of Hull got up the next day and went to work, school and shopping. They really were the Greatest Generation.
British citizens just didn't give a flying fuck
@@Gay_Nigga_Hoodmoments of course we did, we just carried on anyways
And the deaths
well, what else would you expect anyone to do in that situation?
People gotta fullfill their basic human needs, even if theres a war.
Same thing happens everyday in the middle east.
Brave nation.
That's really interesting. I feel like the effect would have been even better with some fireworks to look like anti aircraft guns and planes exploding.
That is terrifying. Imagine how the people of Hull in WW2 would've felt.
it was a sad time in WW2. but the British held their own and managed to get the Royal Air Force up to fight near the end of the Blitz, which caused the Luftwaffe to retreat bak to mainland Europe
Still why must the civilians be punished for the decisions of war from politics?
@@oliviamann556 many important industries were located close to civilian houses in London. I think at first the Luftwaffe and RAF both tried not to hit civilians, but at one bombing raid the RAF accidentally hit a residential area. Obvs Hitler didn’t know this wasn’t on purpose and ordered the bombers to just not care about civilians.
@@oliviamann556 , soldiers dont work in factories or supporting industries that make the engines of war. It's not the politicians either. So guess who's left.
@@sztypettto I see I guess I heard too much about corrupted politics today
I was there when this was recorded, this will stick by me for a good few years from now
all they need is real sirens and AA guns firing in the sky and itll be good
@Sir meows a Lot isn't it flak?
And have spit fires and bombers
@dragon lol
@Sir meows a Lot do ya know what blank shells are?
@Sir meows a Lot ill tell ya. Shells with no actual bullets.
84 years later, the sound of the sirens and the He-111s flying overhead is STILL terrifying.
Man all those spot lights moving slowly throughout the air is terrifying and sends chills may those people who died during this horrible event Rest In Peace
The Greatest Nation There Ever Will Be 🇬🇧
Btits
Please visit At James Church Sutton on Hull and pay your respects to Flight Lieutenant Pat Hughes Australian fighter pilot in The Battle of Britain who is laid to rest in the churchyard.if you are in the area.
Rest in peace Pat.
I pay respect to Austrian painter ✋
Absolutely awesome video! I cannot imagine the absolute horrors endured by the British during WWII as a result of the Blitz.
I guess that whole, memories may be genetoc thing actually may not be quite so BS after all. Being an Australian of 1998 birth i only have a connection to ww2 through bloodline and my passion of studying history...
Yet when that first bomb came whistling in i found myself tearing up, when those sirens started my hair stood on end and i had a shiver in my legs that went up my spine.
My grandad, as an 8 year old, would pull a little red wagon through the streets of london after bombing raids, collecting scrap metals from the wrecks and rubble...
At one point his family had hidden under a staircase during a raid, and in the morning they crawled out, and there was an unexploded 500kg bomb half sticking through the roof over the staircase...
When mum was a kid, an ammunition factory several Kilometers from her town suffered an accident that resulted in the underground facility becoming an orbital one...
The shockwave from the facility blew doors and windows in on nans house and she threw herself under the table screaming "their bombing us again!"
At war, at war, at war, at war, at war, at war, at war...
This would have been interesting for young and middle aged people to see - a theatrical experience as they stood in the square and watched this simulation - but it would have possibly been traumatic for old people standing and watching on that night in 2017. Many would had the awful memories of the Blitz reawakened as they watched. As many people actually died in that very square during the Blitz maybe it was in slightly bad taste to recreate the event right there. What do people think?
They forgot about the Anti Aircraft guns "This includes Flak Guns".
Hi Michael, Would it be possible to use some of your footage in a Hull documentary please? We will of course credit you for this. I can pass my email address over if you would like any further details
Yeah no issues with that, feel free!
@@michaelrothwell4900 Hi Michael, Brilliant thank you very much! Am I crediting the footage under Michael Rothwell? My email is phil.culkin@vipworldwide.tv If you wanted to confirm through that instead. Thanks again! Phil
What is he saying
low auality dumb videos “ I am speaking to you from the cabinet room of 10 downing street. This morning the British ambassador in Berlin handed the German Government a final note, stating that unless we heard from them by 11 o’clock that they were prepared at once to withdraw their troops from Poland a state of war would exist between us. I have to tell you now that no such undertaking has been received. And that consequently this country is at war”
What is the guy saying?
It's the speech given by Neville Chamberlain on the outbreak of war
"I am speaking to you from the Cabinet Room at 10 Downing Street. This morning, the British ambassador in Berlin handed the German government a final note stating that unless we heard from them by 11 O'clock that they were prepared at once to withdraw their troops from Poland. A state of war would exist between us. I have to tell you now that no such undertaking has been received and that consequently, this country is at war.
Can't even begin to imagine what people went through in Hull 94% of all buildings in the city were either bombed of suffered damage because of them. It was a daunting sight to see people in tears whilst watching these scenes.
I was there wen i was 5 and i was hugging my mam coz i was that scared i hated it
