The+Blitz

In the summer of 1940, Hitler decided to attack Britain. His plan was to take control of the English Channel by destroying the Royal Airforce and then send German soldiers into Britain. In July, Hitler started his operation. The German Airforce was making daily bombing raids on British ships, airfields, aircraft factories, ports, and radar stations. The British had a lot of losses but the Germans had more. In September Hitler had to come up with a new plan. Hitler began daily bombing major cities in Britain. His main target was London. After a couple of weeks he was doing the bombings every night. He did this to increase the fear in the people and to make them weaker because they couldnt get enough sleep. The people slept in underground stations for protection. The government tried to confuse the Germans and enforced a blackout. The street lamps were turnned off, people had to ccover their car headlights, and they had to put black material in their windows. After May of 1941 the bombings became less frequent because Hitler turned his attention to Russia.
