Why did the clydebank blitz happen?
In 1938 (before the war had started, the German Air-force (The Luftwaffe) had taken reconnaissance pictures of Clydebank, Duntocher, Old Kilpatrick and Yoker - using non-military planes with cameras attached to them. From these they were able to see the large Industrial potential of the area in Wartime. In this pre war mission, they found the Fuel tanks at Duntocher, the Singer factory, John Browns shipyard, and the Shipyards in the Beardmore area (where the hotel/hospital now sits). These areas were heavily bombed on the nights of the raids. After the war was finished, a Clydebank born soldier by chance found some of the surveillence photos from the 1938 mission.
