What were Bombing raids over Britain in 1940 called?
thousandsBombing campaigns are not measured in terms of "how many bombs were dropped" but rather how many tons of bombs were used. The Luftwaffe dropped about 45,000 tons of bombs during the Blitz. Some of this tonnage was used on other locations but London received the bulk of the bombs up to May 1941.
What plane started the blitz in World War 2?
if you mean which plane was the first to drop its bombs i am not sure, but if you mean which planes were used in the blitz the Germans used Junkers Ju 88s, Dornier Do 17s, Messerschmitt Me 110s, Me 109, and the British used spitfires hurricanes. I think that's all. Edit: Actually some of those weren't used till after the Blitz. The primary aircraft used in the 1940 Battle of Britain were Ju-88, He-111, Do-17, Ju-87 (briefly), Me-110 and Me-109.
How many homes were destroyed by bombs in Britain during the blitz?
Over 2,000,000 people were left homeless after the Blitz. Of those 2,000,000, about 60 percent of them lived in London. The death toll for the Blitz was 60,000.
