Blitz of Plymouth (Part IV) Casualties in the war Before passing to some details and incidents of the individual raids, it is interesting to get the mind a picture summary of the tragic and disastrous effects of this bombing on 59 occasions. The official figures issued at the end of the war revealed: Civilians killed: 1,172 Civilians seriously injured: 1,092 Civilians slightly killed: 2,177 Missing, believed killed: 7 ---------------------------------------------- Total civilian casualties: 4,448 Those figures are, however, by no means the end of the casualty list. They relate only to the civilian population. Naturally with Plymouth being such an important centre for the Services, and also embracing the Royal Dockyard at Devonport, there were considerable casualties among Service personnel. For security reasons these figures were never revealed; neither have they been revealed since the war. They must, however, add very considerably to the total. | |

Blitz to Plymouth (Part III) France falls to the enemy With the whole of Northern France in the hands of the Germans it was recognised that Plymouth was now exposed to front line danger. Plymouth was much too important a target to remain immune to enemy attack. It was not long before Plymouth heard the sirens wailing their warning of air attack for the first time. That was on 30th June, 1940. The "alert" lasted an hour, but there were no incidents. Hostile aircraft were away out over the Channel. But everyone realised that Plymouth`s testing time had arrived; war had suddenly become grim and real. Between 30th June, 1940 and 30th April, 1944, Plymouth was to hear those sirens sounding the "alert" on 602 occasions. Not all of them were caused by air raids diretced on Plymouth, but there were 59 occsaions when bombs were dropped. Many of those raids were light in character; others like those in the early part of 1941 when the enemy thought to blot out Plymouth and its establishments, were devastatingly heavy. | |

Blitz to Plymouth (Part II) Preparations are made Various civil defence forces were recruited and trained - wardens, special constabulary, fire-fighters; first-aid posts were establihed in various parts to deal with possible casualties and equipped with ambulances, first-aiders and nursing auxiliaries. Air raid control centres were organised, one underneath the Guildhall, the other underneath Devonport Market. They were to be the nerve centres for all activity in connection with the raids. This, in a general way, was, therefore, the set up in those first few months of the war when the danger to be had not yet aroused the nation. Life flowed fairly evenly and viewing the war organisations and official planning there were those who askes,"Is it necessary?" Dunkirk, that miracle of evacuation for tens of thousands of British and French troops, and the surge across France of the German forces jolted everyone to the realisation that here was direct and menacing challenge to Britian`s isolation. Here in Plymouth there were grave faces as people watched the evacuation of troops from the ports of Northern France. Never had Plymouth seen such congestion in her harbour. Ships of all types and sizes came in with remnants of the British expeditionary army who had stubbornly retreated until they were finally squeezed out of France. | |

Blitz of Plymouth 1940 - 44 The most tragic years in the city`s history (Part I) Plymouth was described as the worst blitzed city in the country; an unenviable reputation for the place which in the early days had rather complacently regarded itself as so far removed from the seat of hostilities as to be comparatively safe from air attacks. While the warring nations were still sparring across the Franco-German Frontier the war seemed to be a long way from Plymouth; at any rate such long distance attacks as might be contemplated would have to run a gauntlet of several hundreds of miles. All the same, Plymouth took elemantary precautions such as were commonly being applied, but not in the wildest imaginings was it visualised that the city would suffer devastation as it did, that its citizens would be called upon to show endurance and courage which was to arouse the admiration and sympathy of the world, that one of the grimmest chapters to her long history was to be written, that she was to endure all the agony of a front line city. For the first nine months of the war Plymouth went the way she has in previous wars - at a distance, but at the same time touches by events, especially the sea, by reason of her association with the Services. There were such incidents as the sinking of the first aircraft carrier, the Devonport - manned "Courageous", a hundred miles out in the western approaches. Many Plymouth families were intimately touched by the tragedy. Then there was the glorious homecoming of the cruisers "Ajax" and "Exeter" after their victory over the German pocketbattleship "Graf Spee" in the River Plate action - an occasion when Mr. Winston Churchill, then First Lord of the Admiralty, made his first war - time visit to plymouth, and spoke on the quarter deck of "Exeter" of the victory which had come "like a flash of light and colour on scene, carrying with it encouragement to all who are fighting." He reminded them of the shades of Drake, Raleigh, Hawkins, and others who must have watched their homecoming, finally saying, "In the hearts of your fellow-countrymen you have come back with your work nobly and faithfully accomplished, with your honours gathered, and your duty done." There were those factors and others which tragically reminded Plymouth that the war was real and grim. People had watched the protecting barricads of sandbags outside certain buildings and as time and the elements rotted the coverings and the contents were spewed on to the pavements, wondered whether they were necessary. They all knew that at certain points all over the city - Greenbank, the Guildhall, Ker-Street, St. Budeaux, Crownhill, and at various establishments - sirens had been installed to give warning of air raids; they were told how the rising and falling, or wailing note, would be the warning of an imminent raid, and the long drawn out single note intimation of "Raiders passed". They perhaps wondered what those sirens would like ever they came to be used. | |

Servus, erstmal Glückwunsch zur neuen Seite, sieht gut aus. Aber einen Kritikpunkt habe ich auch. Die Bilder sind viel zu klein, man erkennt gar nichts und auerdem könnten auch noch Bildunterschriften drunter, oder nicht? Steve | |

Erfurt - Nie wieder! Da hat der Antiimp recht, Erfurt ist für Palituchträger und Propalästinenser ein heisses Pflaster. Ich glaub es war im April da musste ich mich vor wahrscheinlich einheimischen "Linken" ständig rechtfertigen warum ich ein Palituch trage. Aber selber no Border, nö Nation schrein und eine Nationalfahne des Staates Israel schwingen da kann man nur lachen. Solln sich Nazis und Antideutsche doch gegenseitig eine rein haun. Wenn 2 sich streiten freut sich der Dritte! | |
