I remember it very well. Watching a doodlebug from the top of our anderson shelter, flying over the house so low I could see the seams in the fuselage. And when it landed being deafened and dazed with a blue haze by the shock waves. I'll be 90 tomorrow but the blitz is still clear in my mind.
my father had fought 8 years, 1937--1945, in China. he always said : the newly drafted are afraid of artillerie, the more experienced are afraid of machine guns, but every one is scared by air bombed !
Some Fascist clown in Washington decided it was a good idea to pick a fight with Russia 🇷🇺 and all its NATO vassals followed in the debacle.. History will record the day the West went insane..
My dad would tell me about getting under the big heavy table in the dining room during raids on Sheffield, i always thought they just had a real heavy thick table but i'm wondering now if it may have been a 'morrison' shelter, i had only heard of the 'anderson' shelters not the indoor type, i'll have to ask the old boy!
I'm missing a couple of lines Best documentary up to lately used to post which follows as; '' You think you know Hitler, you never seen him like this before '' 😂😂😂
It's great that [many or some] people remained strong, but I think part of history as it relates to the bombings in England during WW2 is missing. It's being a bit sugar coated. Often history and accounts are more about how things are reported as apposed to reality.

Happy belated 90th birthday 🎂
@@amandadickson5975 Thankyou.
As a child of the 20th century some are still here in the 21st century of chaos and of war still haunting humanity.
my father had fought 8 years, 1937--1945, in China.
he always said :
the newly drafted are afraid of artillerie,
the more experienced are afraid of machine guns,
but every one is scared by air bombed !
my father was drafted following pearl harbor. I miss my father so much !
My grandfather signed up after Pearl Harbor. I still have his paper work. He joined Dec 8th 1941
WW3 I'd worry about these days the way its going
Thank you!
Thanks to the author for making and sharing
Very interesting and low key narration. The added smoke to some of the photos was an unnecessary distraction.
Interesante documental,nunca los ingleses estuvieron tan cerca de ser sometidos.
Very interesting topic. Didn't realize that Chamberlain actually gave England time to prepare.
And now ww3 is here.. HAVE WE NOT LEARNED FROM OUR PAST
calm your clam, WW3 is not even close to being here.
Do we ever?

The commentary makes it all sound well prepared & organised. Read Juliet Gardiner's book The Blitz for a more accurate account.

Oh & also The Supreme Alide Commander Eisenhower .
Pre war London was over populated and living conditions for many were dire , welcome to modern London ,
Role on Britannia 😅.
Cant stand it when they target religious temples churches mosques etc during war. Pisses me off. Absolutely unnecessary.
Grow up
