Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hitler was decisive and wanted to conquer England. The devastation was horrific. The rampant engines vibrating the airplanes and the piercing sounds of the bombs falling onto the buildings crushed the city of London. Sirens and church bells ringing alerted citizens to run to the shelters immediately. On their way to the shelters, people saw crumbled flats and businesses. Fires left charcoal rubble throughout the neighborhoods. Trucks and buses looked like twisted shrapnel. Food rationing, depleted housing and unemployment challenged the country. Throughout the London Blitz, British citizens rallied and defined their persistence to overcome the German invasion. Winston Churchill spent hours walking through London and encouraged citizens to keep calm and carry on.
