The first sustained use of civilian bombings during World War II occurred during the Blitz, which began in September 1940 when the German Luftwaffe started targeting London and other British cities. This campaign lasted until May 1941, with the aim of demoralizing the British population and disrupting the war effort. The bombings caused widespread destruction and significant civilian casualties, marking a significant escalation in the use of air power against non-combatants in the war.
The military casualties were 1,547 total aircraft, which typically had 1-3 people in them. Civilian casualties from the bombings were about 27, 450 dead and 32,138 wounded.

The first sustained use of civilian bombings occurred during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), particularly exemplified by the bombing of Guernica by German and Italian aircraft in April 1937. This event marked a significant shift in warfare, as it targeted civilians to demoralize the enemy and disrupt society. The horrific impact of these bombings drew international attention and became a symbol of the brutality of the war, influencing future military strategies.
The military casualties were 1,547 total aircraft, which typically had 1-3 people in them. Civilian casualties from the bombings were about 27, 450 dead and 32,138 wounded.
Estimating the number of innocent civilians who died from bombing during World War II is challenging, but it is believed that millions were affected. The strategic bombing campaigns, particularly in cities like Dresden, Hamburg, and Tokyo, resulted in significant civilian casualties. Some estimates suggest that around 600,000 to 800,000 civilians died in bombings across Europe, while in Asia, particularly during the bombings in Japan, hundreds of thousands more perished. Overall, the total civilian death toll from bombings in the war is likely in the millions.
