Pink Floyd - Goodbye Blue Sky (London Blitz)
Uploaded by: Bomberguy
Video Description:
The Blitz was the sustained bombing of the United Kingdom by Nazi Germany between 7 September 1940 and 10 May 1941, in World War II. While the "Blitz" hit many towns and cities across the UK, it began with the bombing of London for 57 nights in a row. By the end of May 1941, over 43,000 civilians had been killed and more than a million houses destroyed or damaged.
London was not the only city to suffer extensive bombing during the Blitz. Birmingham, Coventry, Sheffield, Liverpool, Hull, Manchester, Portsmouth, Plymouth and Southampton were all among the cities to suffer similarly heavy air raids and high numbers of casualties.
The German military doctrine of speed and surprise was described as Blitzkrieg, literally lightning war, from which the British use of Blitz was derived. While German air-supported attacks on Poland, France, the Netherlands and other countries may be described as Blitzkrieg, the prolonged strategic bombing of London did not fit the term.
While the Germans never again managed to bomb Britain on such a large scale, they carried out smaller attacks throughout the war, taking the civilian death toll to 51,509 from bombing. In 1944, the development of pilotless V-1 flying bombs and V-2 rockets briefly enabled Germany to again attack London with weapons launched from the European continent. In total the V weapons killed 8,938 civilians in Britain.

| I'm not justifying Nazi Germany, but British night bombing and US daytime bombing of Germany throughout the rest of the war killed far more civilians than the London Blitz did. Additionally, US incendiary bombing of Japan killed far more civilians than even the atomic bombs did. There's always two sides to the story. |

| no you're wrong. bombing of civilians was unheard of before world war 2, even in world war 1 is was just unacceptable, coming out of an age where wars were fought on a field between soldiers and calvary. Germany for the frist time set out to kill innocent lives, not just strategic targets, actual civilian people. the bombing of such places like drezden, were merely revenge. yes revenge is not the answer in such a situation, but god damn germany deserved it. |

| In WW1 Germany bombed British coastal towns and London using zeppelins. They were not military targets but bombed purely for the "panic" value. |
| Where am I wrong? ... ( 5 months ago by tw1488) |
| Where am I wrong? Yes, Germany was the aggressor and initiated the bombing of cities and civilians, but the fact remains that the Allies adopted the same tactics. The Nazi regime may have deserved such treatment, but how many innocent civilians who had no connection with the Nazis were killed in those bombings. I'd hate to use a cliche, but two wrongs don't make a right. |
