Where did the World War 2 blitz happen why?

The Blitz in WW2 refers to the bombing of London & other principal British cities & ports. This was due to a change of emphasis in the attack by the Luftwaffe against the RAF. Had they but known they were actually winning the fight against the RAF by bombing the airfields in SE England. By bombing the industrial targets as they saw them the Germans gave the RAF time to reorganise & change tactics, hopefully the Germans thought,reducing the civillian will to continue in the war. This simply was not the case then, nor was it when the British & US bombed Germany later in the war. (Which raises the question why try to destroy the German civillian will to resist when the Germans were unable to reduce the British ?) The trerm Blitz should not be confused with Blitzkreig which is the 'Lightning war', a combination of Panzer and Luftwaffe tactics.
