The Blitz or lightning from German is the phrase used in English to describe the period of sustained strategic bombing of the United Kingdom by Nazi Germany during the Second World War. The infamous raid of November 14 1940 on Coventry brought a worse twist to the campaign. 500 German bombers dropped 500 tons of explosives and nearly 900 incendiary bombs on the city in ten hours of unrelenting bombardment, a tactic later emulated on an even greater scale by the RAF in their attacks on German cities.
