The Most Intense Bombing Raid In British History

In May 1941, Liverpool became the target of the most intense aerial bombardment outside of London. For eight days, the city burned as the Luftwaffe attempted to sever Britain’s Atlantic lifeline. From the tragic story of Margaret Johnson, who lost three children in the ruins, to the miraculous survival of a newborn baby in a clothes basket, this documentary explores the raw human cost of the Blitz. We investigate why the city felt abandoned by the government and how the "Liverpool Spirit" ultimately refused to break. War Stories is your one-stop shop for all things military history.
