| This
was the night when the city caught on fire. It caught
fire because the Germans dropped so many bombs.
The ‘Coventry blitz’ happened on 14
November 1940. It was like a thunderstorm raining
bombs.
The blitz was the bombing of Britain from 1940-1941
by German planes in World War 2. The word Blitz
comes from the German word 'blitzkrieg' meaning
'lightning war'. |
