The Manchester Blitz is sometimes known as the Christmas Blitz. The city of Manchester was heavily bombed by the German Nazi Luftwaffe. As an important inland port and industrial center, it was considered a primary target. The heaviest raids occurred in December, 1940 when 684 people were killed and another 2,364 were injured.
