The Blitz - The Aftermath (WW2 Documentary)

In September 1940, Germany decided to launch an air attack against UK cities, to break the will of the people and force them to surrender. But despite an 8-month campaign of day and night raids, the spirit of the British people could not be broken. With interviews and archive footage showing the sheer amount of devastation - from the loss of life to the immense damage caused to buildings across the country - The Aftermath looks at how the Blitz changed the face of Britain's cities and lives.
Director : Bruce Viger

I remember it very well. Watching a doodlebug from the top of our anderson shelter, flying over the house so low I could see the seams in the fuselage. And when it landed being deafened and dazed with a blue haze by the shock waves. I'll be 90 tomorrow but the blitz is still clear in my mind.

As a child of the 20th century some are still here in the 21st century of chaos and of war still haunting humanity.

my father had fought 8 years, 1937--1945, in China.
he always said :
the newly drafted are afraid of artillerie,
the more experienced are afraid of machine guns,
but every one is scared by air bombed !

Interesante documental,nunca los ingleses estuvieron tan cerca de ser sometidos.

[@jameswburke]

The commentary makes it all sound well prepared & organised. Read Juliet Gardiner's book The Blitz for a more accurate account.

[@rodpettet2819]

Very interesting and low key narration. The added smoke to some of the photos was an unnecessary distraction.

[@wap9137]

Very interesting topic. Didn't realize that Chamberlain actually gave England time to prepare.

[@BenState]

calm your clam, WW3 is not even close to being here.

[@ronaldmartin7892]

Do we ever?

Some Fascist clown in Washington decided it was a good idea to pick a fight with Russia 🇷🇺 and all its NATO vassals followed in the debacle.. History will record the day the West went insane..

My dad would tell me about getting under the big heavy table in the dining room during raids on Sheffield, i always thought they just had a real heavy thick table but i'm wondering now if it may have been a 'morrison' shelter, i had only heard of the 'anderson' shelters not the indoor type, i'll have to ask the old boy!

Pre war London was over populated and living conditions for many were dire , welcome to modern London ,

[@GaryEllington-dy8li]

Oh & also The Supreme Alide Commander Eisenhower .

[@veronicamoody3981]

It's great that [many or some] people remained strong, but I think part of history as it relates to the bombings in England during WW2 is missing. It's being a bit sugar coated. Often history and accounts are more about how things are reported as apposed to reality.

I'm missing a couple of lines Best documentary up to lately used to post which follows as;
'' You think you know Hitler, you never seen him like this before '' 😂😂😂

[@ambersykora352]

Cant stand it when they target religious temples churches mosques etc during war. Pisses me off. Absolutely unnecessary.
