Buckingham Palace suffered a direct hit in WWII, nobody was hurt.
Operation sea lion never actually happened. It was Hitler's planned invasion of Britain, but when Goering's Luftwaffe failed to destroy the British RAF in the Battle of Britain, Hitler postponed iit several times, and then canceled it.
During this time, fortunately Reading was not really affected by the bombing and it was considered as a safe town to be during the war. Many people from London came to settle there during this period of time. One of the only times when Reading was affected was on the 10th February 1943…..
In short yes, Peterhead was bombed during ww2. The close proximity of Peterhead airfield, and other key sites such as the naval base at Peterhead docks made it a prime target. This unfortunately resulted in Peterhead being bombed a number of times, with quite a heavy loss of life. James St was bombed on 29th September 1941 and killed 30 people for instance. Im afraid i cant name any other specific incidents. Good luck!
Great Britain area = 240 000 km2. Alberta area = 661 848 km2. So 2.75 times.
Hitler planned to conquer Britain. he bombed London 57 times, but they didn't surrender!
During WW II, Germany attacked Britain, and Britain retaliated. That's what happens in times of war. You bomb me, and I'll bomb you. Fortunately all of that is over, and Britain and Germany are good friends in the 21st century.
It was so that the enemy couldn't gain sensitive information i.e. London has never been bombed. But of course London has been bombed many times but you get the gist. Hope it helps :-)
During what was called the Battle of Britain, in WW 2, Great Britain was bombed repeatedly for months. Along with the bombings by German aircraft, Great Britain was also attacked by new missiles developed by the Nazi's. The exact number of bombings is difficult to measure as "sorties" by German fighter planes cannot be counted. To fully understand the extent of the bombings, here's one example. For a period of 57 consecutive nights, London faced German bombing attacks.
It depends on what war/battle you are talking about. Britain did defeat France a couple times, but France retaliated.
Germany committed about 4,000 aircraft to the battle in total, about 6,000 to 7,000 aircrew plus about ten times as many men in maintenance and support roles. Britain had about 2,000 aircraft with 2,500 aircrew plus about 100,000 ground crew, observers and radar operators and command and control personnel. In addition, the Germans bombed all the cities they could reach with their aircraft, menaing that the entire population of Southern England, about 20 million civilians were involved in the battle.
7 times
Wimbledon was not played during the years 1940-1945.
In England it's London, but in Britain its Edinburgh, Glasgow and Belfast with as much as 3 times knife rates.
