Blitz Spirit - 2021 - 7/10

Historian Lucy Worsley separates myths and fables from actual events.
She relies on diaries and journals of London participants, with actors voicing their words.
Also utilized are newsreel footage and official documents.
The Government initially declared the Underground off-limits as bomb shelters.
Ongoing news was scrutinized, rewritten, censored.
The Luftwaffe initially targeted the Docks and East End, sparing the ruling class.
The lower orders recognized the timeless slight.
Timeline is brief and accurate. Declaration, Phony War, Blitz, Germany pivots toward Russia.
Worthwhile. In a vein similar to Worsley’s Suffragettes (2018).
