• Starting from August 1940

• The Luftwaffe launched sporadic attacks on London

• The loss in the Battle of Britain and the retaliatory attack on Berlin angered the Nazi regime

  • Their objective was to disrupt historic buildings and weaken civil morale

• Urban industrial centers and other towns were also targeted

• Although the intensity of the Blitz faded as the war progressed, subsequent raids served as a reminder to the British that they were still vulnerable to Nazi hatred.
