Blitz: The Bombing of Coventry

2009-10-06 en 60m
Documentary
On 14 November 1940 the German Luftwaffe dropped so many bombs on Coventry that three guarters of the city was destroyed. Such was the devastation, the Germans coined a term to describe it - "to coventrate". This documentary explores the immediate aftermath of the attack, as panic gripped the city and half the population fled. But it also charts Coventry's remarkably rapid revival, and its role in the eventual "coventration" of Hamburg, Dresden and Berlin, that would ultimately bring Germany to its knees.
