Tuesday History Task
Today you will be studying sources of evidence linked to the Blitz. A source of
evidence informs people all about events, BUT like many things, different people
have different interpretations of it. You are going to have a try at sorting out
sources of evidence which show that Britain is winning the Second World War
or that things are going badly for Britain.

Dear diary,
I am writing this entry sitting in a dreary, freezing cold public shelter. It is so
grim in here, we are all so closely packed in, I doubt I will get a wink of sleep
tonight.
At seven o’clock, the air raid siren started to blare out, oh I do hate that noise,
it is so deafening. So, doing as we were told, Mum and I paced quickly towards
the shelter, determined to get a good spot. Unfortunately, we were not one of
the first there, and we just had to push our way through to reach safety. We
managed to find a little corner in the tunnel where we could sit, but I was not
able to lie down.
All of a sudden, the bombs were exploding all around us. The sound of the
explosions was horrifying, everyone in the shelter was gasping and wailing. It
was truly awful. People’s tears were streaming down their faces and they all
looked at a loss. My Mum just held me tight and kept whispering in my ear that
it would all be alright and stop soon. Eventually, she was right.
I sit here now, looking around me, some men and women are reading newspapers,
some children are trying to sleep, but I can’t help thinking about what tomorrow
will bring. Will our house still be standing tall? Will any of my toys have been
destroyed? Will this war ever end?
I will write again tomorrow, hopefully we won’t be back down in that shelter
again!
Goodnight,
Fred

2.15 – 3pm -
Thursday – History Task
Today you will be discovering why Germany decided to bomb Britain so intensely
and why the Blitz eventually stopped in 1941.
By 1940, Germany had successfully invaded France and so Adolf Hitler (the
German leader) set his sights on Britain. He wanted to take over Britain and
neutralise it so that Germany were not having to fight Russia in the East and
Britain in the west. Hitler realised the way to try and take
over Britain was to use terror as his weapon by
bombing key cities in Britain.
Task 1 – Why?
Having completed History last term about World War II, why did Germany
bomb cities in the Blitz? They also bombed cities which were ports, why do you
think they bombed ports?
52The end of the Blitz
Look at the slides and text on the next page to find out more about the Blitz:
53One key argument from historians about Adolf Hitler, is
that he did not realise how brave and determined the
British people would be during the Blitz. Hitler believed
that by scaring the British population and bombing key
locations, this would force Britain to admit defeat.
Unfortunately, for Hitler, this did not happen and so by
May 1941, the Blitz ended. It was seen as a loss for Germany as they had not
achieved their mission of invading Britain. The British saw it as a huge victory.
From May 1941, Germany changed their tactics and decided to try and invade
Russia instead.
Task 2 – How do you think a German pilot would have felt at the end of
the Blitz? Do you think he would have been pleased or disappointed?
Explain your answer.
