The Heinkel He 111 was one of the primary bombers used by the Luftwaffe during the Blitz, which targeted British cities from 1940 to 1941. Capable of carrying a substantial payload, the He 111 played a crucial role in the extensive bombing campaigns. Additionally, other bombers like the Dornier Do 17 and the Junkers Ju 88 also contributed significantly to the bombing raids. However, the He 111 is often noted for its prominence and effectiveness during this period.
Both the Allies side, (Britain, USA etc.), and they Axis side, (Germany, Italy etc.), dropped bombs in World War Two, although the Blitz was really the Luftwaffe, (German Air Force), dropping bombs on London, Coventry and other major areas.
Blitz bombs, used during the bombing campaigns of World War II, varied in weight depending on the type. Commonly, the most recognized bombs, like the German SC 250 and SC 500, weighed around 250 kg (550 lbs) and 500 kg (1,100 lbs) respectively. Additionally, incendiary bombs used during the Blitz could weigh as little as 1 kg (2.2 lbs) to several hundred kilograms. The weight and type of bomb used depended on the intended target and desired destruction.
During the Blitz, Swansea experienced significant bombing, with approximately 1,800 bombs dropped on the city. The most devastating attacks occurred on the nights of February 19 and 20, 1941, resulting in extensive damage and loss of life. The bombings targeted key industrial and civilian areas, leading to widespread destruction across the city.
Most of the bombs in World War I and II were encased in iron or steel. They were shaped somewhat like a bullet with fins to allow them to drop straight down.
at this time (2013) russia has the most.

Most of the bombs (and the V-1 and V-2 missiles) exploded above ground in London, which is why people took shelter in the subways and in basements. Unfortunately, some bombs were made heavy enough to penetrate the ground before exploding. Other bombs destroyed buildings which then collapsed into the subterranean shelters.

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.
Some bombs are nuclear. But most bombs are not nuclear.
