The period in question began quietly with the Luftwaffe busy
elsewhere, yet the increasing attacks on Germany by the Royal Air
Foce provoked a response in the form of the so-called Baedeker
offensive of 1942. And it is against this background of the hammer
blows dealt out to German towns and cities that the Blitz on
Britain during 1942 - 1944 period must be viewed. Hitler's
frustration at not being able to hit back, like for like, led to
the appointment in 1943 of a Blitz supremo to mete out retaliation.
This finally came in 1944 with the Steinbock raids - known better
as the "Baby Blitz" - yet it was only an interim measure. As the
manned bomber attacks faded, so a new and fearsome method of attack
by robot bomb began with weapons of vengence The V1 and V2 period
is fully documented with the basic facts and figures balanced by
eyewitness accounts. The three volumes of "The Blitz Then and Now"
are dedicated to the 60,000 British civilians who died and the
86,000 who were injured.
