Newcastle was bombed during World War II primarily due to its significance as an industrial and port city. The Luftwaffe targeted it to disrupt production and supply lines, particularly in shipbuilding and coal mining, which were crucial to the British war effort. The bombing aimed to demoralize the population and weaken Britain's ability to sustain the war. Notable raids occurred in 1941, causing significant damage and loss of life.
