The Video shows some of the effects of German bombing on the London infrastructure. Until a few years ago, photographs from the World War II were only seen in grainy black and white. The brunt of the attacks on London by the German bombers was between September 7, 1940 and May 10th 1941. The attacks on Britain were carried out continuously for 76 nights and killed over 40,000 people. These terrifying attacks did not break the spirit of the Brits and people pressed on with their lives, as you can see in the photos.

If you have followed the history of World War II, you will recall that on July 19th 1941 Sir Winston Churchill launched his "V for Victory" campaign. On the 70th anniversary of this campaign, with the advent of digital and other technologies, new color images of the horror of destruction inflicted by the Nazi bombings of London have emerged.
