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!
How did bombing of Britain affect people?
The bombing by Germans/Japan in Britain affected us alot because they bombed the strongest cities- e.g the ones who supplied the most for our army. The capital London was also a massive hit. Everybody has blackout times when they had to literally turn off every single light, close their curtains when the patroller came around because if the Germans saw a light they would bomb there causing fatal consequences. Also, the bombs caused fires (look into the blitz!) which meant alot of people died. Some bombs didn't even go off! they are the dangerous ones. Lots of people moved their children to the country side so their children could be safe- this is called evacuation.
