Podcasts about air raids

In the latest episode of Blood on the Rocks, join me as I talk about Air Raids in World War 2 Europe and the horrors of man made firestorms. The first section of the episode talks about the escalation of air raid bombing campaigns with the Blitz, other air raids in Britain, and 'Area Bombing' followed by the effects of white phosphorous munitions. After this, we move on to some case studies of the Allied Bombings of Dresden and Pforzheim, and the experiences of victims of such attacks.

Ten months into the First World War and the feared onslaught on London by Germany's fleet of airships - Zeppelins - had failed to materialise. There was sympathy for those killed or injured in air raids elsewhere, but these were far away and had little impact on Londoners. Then, shortly after 11pm on a Monday night in May 1915, all that changed…Using documents held at The National Archives, interspersed with personal stories of those who experienced that night, Ian Castle explores those terrifying 20 minutes when, for the very first time, London civilians found themselves on the front line.Ian Castle is author of two books detailing Germany's air campaign against the capital in the First World War - London 1914-17: The Zeppelin Menace and London 1917-18: The Bomber Blitz. He also runs a website covering all of the First World War air raids.

Andrew Janes explains how you can research details of Second World War bombing incidents using the Ministry of Home Security"s Bomb Census.
