Historical events which are frequently mentioned in passing, but
never explored in any depth or detail always arouse curiosity. One
such event is the 'Little Blitz' on London in the early part of
1944. The 'Little Blitz' is the name applied to the air raids on
Britain which were the manifestation of the Luftwaffe's Operation
Steinbock, planned in the last few months of 1943 and put into
effect from the middle of January 1944. The raids, planned as
revenge for the destructive RAF raids on Berlin, mainly targeted
London, and after nearly three years of respite from air raids, the
'Little Blitz' was an unwelcome surprise for Londoners. The
offensive was largely ineffective, but some of the raids caused
significant casualties and damage, and some alarm amongst the
population and the authorities. This is the first account of the
'Little Blitz' to explore these raids in detail and assess their
impact on London. The Little Blitz: The Luftwaffe's Last Attack on
London describes the raids, making use of some vivid personal
accounts.
