Due to the failure of the day campaign during what has become known
as the Battle of Britain, on 7 September 1940, the Luftwaffe
commenced bombing London and major cities, predominantly by night.
What became known as the Blitz continued until 10 May 1941 with
many towns across the country being attacked and London being
struck 57 nights in succession.
Much has been written about the Blitz from a British
perspective but this book tells the story from the viewpoint of the
German aircrew involved, many of whom were shot down and taken
prisoner. Using over 30 first hand accounts and previously
unpublished photos, the book details the Luftwaffe's assault
against the U.K., covering the major attacks and those that
occurred during the remaining months of that year. Integrated with
accounts from the aircrew of RAF's embryonic night fighter force as
they fought against the Luftwaffe in very difficult and sometimes
primitive circumstances, this book provides a new perspective on
the Blitz.
