What problems did the blitz cause?

Answer 1

Blitz (blitzkrieg-ger.) is the German contribution in the World War history. One of the purpose of the blitz is to overwhelm the enemies with minimum victims of both sides and to gain a fast victory. It works. France had been conquered in a couple of weeks after the German army invaded in it with minimum victims of course. The heavy and frequent bombing attacks on London and other cities. Night after night, from September 1940 until May 1941, German bombers attacked British cities, ports and industrial areas. London was bombed every day and night for 11 weeks. One third of London was destroyed. The word ''Blitz'' is a shorten form of the German word ''Blitzkrieg'' which means ''Lightning War''. Initially the bombing was done by aircraft, but later these were replaced by "Buzzbombs". Buzzbombs, the V1, were rockets that were loaded with explosive and ran out of fuel over London. Later still came the V2, like modern missiles, but luckily the war ended before they could do too much damage. The population had to disappear underground whenever the warning sirens were heard and stay ther until the "All clear". Many Londoners used the underground railway stations. The objective of the Blitz was to break civilian morale but it failed and the British, with American help, retaliated by flattening Hamburg and Berlin. the blitz is bombs and it happened in the war

Answer 2

That depends on whether you are refering to the land campaigns fought between 1939-1941 in continental Europe or the bombing campaign against Britain between late 1940 and the summer of 1941.

The land campaigns brought about the rapid collapse of France and most of Eastern Europe and left the western allied powers without a foothold in continental Europe until the Italian campaign in 1943. They were ultimately halted in Russia in the winters of 1941 and 1942, aside from some smaller scale attacks later in the war such as the Battle of the Bulge.

The bombing campaign against resulted in heavy losses for the luftwaffe as well as bringing Britain to the brink of economic collapse, however it was ultimately kept afloat by supply over the ocean from the United States. This resulted in an expensive failure from the Axis who turned their attention to Russia after concluding that the British could not be subdued from the air.
