 Bristol Blitz

The Bristol Blitz was the heavy bombing of Bristol, England, by the Nazi German "Luftwaffe" during the Second World War.Due to the presence of Bristol Harbour and the Bristol Aeroplane Company the city was a target for bombing, and was easily found as enemy bombers were able to trace a course up the River Avon from Avonmouth using reflected moonlight on the waters into the heart of the city.
