German Luftwaffe Commences Main Air Raid on English City of Southampton

This event has not been added to any topics.

Southampton suffered badly from large-scale air raids during World War Two. As a large port city on the south coast, it was an important strategic target for the German air force (Luftwaffe). There were fifty seven attacks in all, but nerves were frayed by over 1,500 alarms.
