What was the capital of Great Britain during World War 2?
London, England
Name two cities that were badly bombed during the blitz?
London, Coventry, Plymouth & Liverpool were cities which suffered great destruction by the Luftwaffe in 1940. These & other cities were Docks & centres of Industrial Production. Britain was heavily dependant on importing goods from overseas & the object was to destroy Britains ability to survive this onslaught, it was in combination with submarine warfare against merchant shipping in the Atlantic. For the first time civillians were involed in warfare on a large, national scale, and it caused great hardship & desperation. This then was economic warfare in the extreme. Although the Luftwaffe was defeated in the Battle of Britain by the RAF it is possible had they not switched from attacking the sector airfields to attacking the cities by night bombing, the Blitz, that the Germans could have reduced the effectiveness of the British Fighter defenses in the longer term. In the summer of 1941 the Luftwaffe was re directed towards Russia to support Barbarossa.
Who was the oldest living confederate soldier?
I know he died in 1958. The veterans' clubs had long since merged into one national association, with no distinction between Union and Confederate. They went on meeting till there were only three men left. Then with great reluctance, they faced up to it that it was time to pack up.
What famous buildings were destroyed in the blitz?
Arsenal Stadium Chelsea Old Church Coventry Catherdral St. Clement Danes Church Balham Tube Station Euston Tube Station Lambeth Walk Great Synagogue of London
