Up close with the May Blitz

The May Blitz on Liverpool, 1-7 May 1941, was the most concentrated series of air attacks on any British city area outside London during the Second World War. 

The German Luftwaffe caused enormous damage across the city. During the Blitz in May 1941, 681 planes dropped 870 tonnes of high explosives and more than 112,000 firebombs on Liverpool.
