TITLE CARD: For eight months between September 1940 and May 1941, Nazi Germany undertook an intense bombing campaign against the United Kingdom. Dubbed ‘The Blitz,’ the term originated from the German ‘blitzkrieg’ meaning lightning war. In response, the British government initiated the evacuation of more than 1.5 million people from urban target areas. 800,000 of those evacuated were children.
