njpringle ::: Favorites Hello, yes when I lived in London I lived in one of those very gaps in the terraced street, which had suffered a direct hit. The house I lived in was built in the gap in a 1950s style totally different to the rest of the street. Also, during the Blitz my Grandad was in a heavy Ack Ack gun unit on the South Coast trying to take down a few bombers before they managed to drop their presents! He saw night after night Portsmouth take a right pounding. 07-09-16 08:33:06 __________________________________________________
woodyqpr ::: Favorites Inded, even now, you go around London and can clearly see where the bombs fell due to the placement of newer buildings. My dad was bombed out 3 times during the war and knew people killed. 07-09-15 17:01:30 __________________________________________________
WelshyM ::: Favorites Living in South London - new buildings fit in with Victorian... If you think about it, the reason is because of what happened here... Lest we forget all. 07-08-05 17:06:35 __________________________________________________

bobdot2000 ::: Favorites My grandfather lived in London at the time of the Blitz - apparently the nearest bomb hit 100 yards from his house! 07-07-20 12:44:08 __________________________________________________

Francis1930 ::: Favorites My goodness the memories this brings back to me. I was 9 when war was declared, during the blitz this video of one night was repeated for 43 nights consecutively, and I lived through every single one of them - what a blast from the past this film is - I hope none of you ever have to listen to that siren in anger again. 07-06-08 10:09:34 __________________________________________________
LucyStag ::: Favorites That's a bit of propaganda, and I wouldn't call the narrator a "neutral reporter." But there's certainly more truth in it than there is in most propaganda...They were tough, and they didn't give in. 07-04-12 20:01:52 __________________________________________________
