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.
