Bath At War

This DVD provides a moving account of the bombing raids on Bath during World War Two. Bath’s civilian population was subjected to one of the fiercest onslaughts carried out against the West Country, enduring three attacks spread over just two nights in April 1942. During that short period, the Luftwaffe ravaged the city, bombarding it with both incendiary and high-explosive bombs, as well as machine-gunning the streets to hamper the work of the emergency services. As a result of the German air attacks, 417 people lost their lives, and a further 425 were injured in Bath. ( 1 DVD )
