The Blitz Began 70 Years Ago Today.
Take a moment to recall a pivotal time in the annals of the struggles of freedom against tyranny. The Germans began 58 uninterrupted days of bombing London and other British cities 70 years ago today. It lasted until May of the following year. The world would be a different place today if they had not held out against the Nazi assaults.
Popular American reporter Ernie Pyle describes what he saw. Rare color film was recently discovered and was released today to mark the 70th anniversary.
