The Blitz

[Jem8472]

I don't know if any of you have seen this but there is an interactive map of every bomb that was dropped on London during the blitz.

Its amazing to see how much of London is covered in red dots! You can hardly see any of London when you zoom out a bit.

Interesting site, thought it is obviously not 100% acurate. I just checked the area where I grew up, and the bomb craters that are now ponds in a field are not listed.

I heard there was talk of this being done in all major cities that got Blitzed in this country (Including my own)

Still a great map

I briefly looked over some of the way Hitler fought the war earlier. The guy was a poor tactician to say the least...

A few more weeks hitting the airfields in the south and he could have launched Operation Sea Lion for example.......

I did not expect it to be 100% accurate but its just amazing to see how many bombs did fall and the fact that they really did bomb the whole of London.
