The Coventry Blitz refers to a series of devastating air raids on the city of Coventry, England, during World War II. These bombings, carried out by the German Luftwaffe, began on the night of November 14, 1940, and lasted for several days. The attacks aimed to destroy key industrial sites and demoralize the British people. The most significant raid resulted in widespread destruction, including the iconic Coventry Cathedral, which was heavily damaged. In total, the Coventry Blitz caused thousands of casualties and left many residents homeless. The event became a symbol of British resilience during the war. In response to the bombings, the city rebuilt itself, and the new Coventry Cathedral stands as a testament to hope and recovery.
