In the section Bombing raid statistics (currently 9.1), the cities are ranked by total bomb tonnage; however, Exeter stands out with very low tonnage (which also doesn't meet the inclusion criterion of 'over 100 tons'). I'm assuming the number is wrong, and probably should be in the 800-900 range (possibly 875?). Does anyone know the correct figure? ] (]) 13:56, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

:FYI, total bomb tonnage dropped on the UK by the Luftwaffe in the period 1939-45 was approximately 70,000 long tons.

The article currently says, in reference to April 1941:
"In the following month, 22 German bombers were lost with 13 confirmed to have been shot down by night fighters. On 3/4 May, nine were shot down in one night. On 10/11 May, London suffered severe damage, but 10 German bombers were downed. In May 1941, RAF night fighters shot down 38 German bombers."
In the first sentence, 22 bombers are said to have been lost in May, with 13 confirmed as shot down by night fighters. In the last sentence, the night fighters are said to have downed 38 bombers. I don't have access to the quoted source - maybe someone who does could check.

@Eric Corbett: Hello Eric, if you're altering the order of citations to make them alphabetical, that will interfere with citations which are in the order they're being used to cite. Regards Keith-264 (talk) 13:10, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
The Blitz was the German aerial bombing campaign against England, as named by the English. Blitzkreig is a German military concept involving ground forces. They are separate things. Acroterion(talk)22:51, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
