From September 1940 until May 1941, the people of the United Kingdom experienced the horrors of war firsthand.

Hundreds of bombers ran thousands of missions over civilian areas of Great Britain.

The hardest hit of all the cities was the capital of London.

By the time the bombing campaign stopped, tens of thousands were killed, over a hundred thousand were injured, and thousands of buildings, including homes, factories, and historic landmarks, were destroyed.

Learn more about the Blitz, how and why it happened, and how Britain persevered on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
