Blitz: The Bombing of Coventry

Writing about web page http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00n7xky/Blitz_The_Bombing_of_Coventry/

An interesting programme about the bombing of Coventry on the night of 14th November 1940. Available until the 9th of this month.

The raid destroyed half of the homes in the city, one third of the factories and three quarters of the buildings in the city centre. In one night.

Only a couple of years ago a World War 2 bomb was unexpectedly dug up in the city centre. (BBC News)
