This is an authentic replica of the Daily Sketch from 1940, reporting on the London Blitz. This was a sustained bombing campaign carried out by the German Luftwaffe against the United Kingdom during World War II. It began on September 7, 1940, and continued for 57 consecutive nights, with London being a primary target. The heaviest raid on London took place on the night of 10/11 May 1941, resulting in significant civilian casualties and damage to the city. The Blitz was a devastating attack on the whole country, with around 40,000-43,000 civilians killed and two million houses damaged or destroyed, making it a significant and tragic event in British history. This replica covers the downing of a Heinkel aircraft, as well as lots of local stories, adverts and a cartoon strip.

A fascinating educational resource for all ages and a delightful way to evoke memories of this significant event.
