In the Blitz, during the Second World War, thousands of civilians were killed and more than a million homes in London were destroyed. They seem only numbers but... what happens if we represent this situation on a map?
Bombsight.org mapped every single known bomb of the Blitz, dropped between October 1940 and June 1941. The originals maps are available in the reading rooms at The National Archives. On the website you can also see some testimonials from the BBC's WW2 People's War and photographs of war damage, on loan from the Imperial War Museum.
