What types of bombs were dropped on England in World War 2?
Many bombs but the most common were the V-1 and the V-2 bombs. The V-1 & V-2 were not used in the blitz, they did not exist then. The blitz was at the beginning of WW2, from 1940 until Hitler turned on Russia in 1942. The V-1 & V-2 were not available until Germany was already beginning to lose the war in 1944. Bombs dropped during the Blitz were ordinary high-explosive "dumb" bombs, what are today typically labeled as an "iron bomb" - a steel casing filled with some form of high explosive. The most commonly used ones by German bombers were 100kg and 250kg bombs, with some incendiary (fire-causing) bombs also mixed in.
