The Blitz Explained

The Blitz marked a critical phase in WWII, characterized by intense strategic bombing of civilian targets by the Germans. Following the pivotal Battle of Britain, where the RAF's resilience thwarted Hitler's invasion plans, Britain retaliated with bombing raids on Berlin, showcasing its determination. This shift not only altered the dynamics of the air war but also shattered the myth of Berlin's invulnerability, setting the stage for a broader Allied bombing strategy.
