Summary |
Tonight, Blitz Street is on the receiving end of one of the largest bombs the Luftwaffe ever dropped on Britain: the SC1000, nicknamed 'The Hermann'. A bomb this large was designed to cause massive damage to the infrastructure of industrial Britain. With the aid of eye-witness testimonies, the program also recounts the Luftwaffe's horrendous bombing of Coventry on 14 November 1940 and the campaign to destroy Britain's manufacture of munitions. Presented by Tony Robinson. (From the UK) (Documentary Series) (Part 2 of 4) CC WS |
