at War: BBC Education Site
When war broke out in September 1939, the British
government expected that the effects on life in
Britain would be very serious. Throughout the 1930s
there had been many predictions about the effects
that bombing would have on cities. In May 1937 there
was newsreel film of the attack by the Condor Legion
on the Spanish city of Guernica. So it was believed
that bombing would cause massive destruction and
loss of life.

the Riveter: The Life and Times of
