#OTD20 | September 7, 1940
September 7, 1940: The Blitz of London begins as the German Luftwaffe launches a devastating attack on the city. By day’s end, one thousand Londoners are dead.
The objectives of this ruthless campaign are clear: to cripple Britain both economically and psychologically. Targets of strategic importance such as docks, railways, factories, and ships bear the brunt of the devastating attacks. Tragically, little precaution was taken to safeguard civilians, as the aim is to weaken the very heart of Britain in preparation for a land invasion.
