Instant Recall the London Blitz

While in London, England working on the first Gulf War, I got a call to go interview some old WWII pilots. For a new reality show named; Instant Recall. This gave me the opportunity to meet great hero's of that era.

This American "reporter" got his dates wrong -no bombs fell in London in June 1940. The evacutation of Dunkirk had just taken place, but it was not until mid August 1940 that the first German bombs fell on London, and it was not until the late afternoon of Saturday, 7 September that the first real mass aerial bombardement by the German Luftwaffe took place...the true start of the London Blitz. For 57 consecutive nights German bombs rained down on London and elsewhere on Britain in the Blitz.

This brought back lots of memories of those days....

Great entry. I'm working on a motion picture about a Battle of Britain pilot, and we're considering adding a pretty epic scene of London getting whacked during the Blitz.

Thanks RAF pilots during Battle of Britain! Among British, Polish, Czechs, others. And Polish American pilot Francis "Gabby" Gabreski.

Bombing of Warsaw during WWII - 90,000 civilians killed by Nazi Luftwaffe. Horror.

Hitlers JETS? Rockefeller had The ONLY Jet Fuel on EARTH. Rockefeller GAVE Hitler all the OIL for WW2. Churchill is a Rothschild he conveniently observed the BLITZ from afar. Prescott Bush owned Silecian Steel in Auschwitz death camps of ig Farben producing STEEL for HITLER. Rockefeller cartelled with Farben producing ZyclonB Death Gas

@Ralex004

agreed,

not all germans during ww2 were nazis.

Some actual hated the nazis, but there voices werent heard.

Why? because the nazis blackbagged them before anyone

else could hear the sound of there voice or see there hair color.

i h8 how they say german instead of nazi

Britain wasn't actually on the 'verge' of defeat. The Kriegsmarine still would have had to get past the Royal Navy which was more powerful. But it was a VERY serious situation.

@Elberiver11'm sure the nazis bombed london civilians by accident so we bombed them, then hitler got angry and started the blitz, which some say is the reason he didn't beat britain, the blitz gained little if anything, they were tearing down the city and leaving military targets. i'm sure we fed bad intelligence back to them and they started missing a lot of their targets and hitting suburbs at one point. we killed more by doing a better job of things. theres no doubt they started the war!

@Verderer watch the video again, its referring to the attack on raf bases and airfields, i do think the date is wrong, i thought it was july 1940, but thats the same basic ball-park figure! there were some bombs dropped on industrial targets that could be considered civilian, in early august, but they were strategic targets. it was late august that they mistakenly bombed london, like you said, then we responded with a raid on berlin and hitler started his blitz.
