It is called Blitzkrieg, not The Blitz. Blitzkrieg means Lightning Strike. 76.94.25.129 (talk) 22:47, 12 April 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)

Bombing raid statistics

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? DoubleGrazing (talk) 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. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.144.50.176 (talk) 17:50, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

map

Can't we make a map of the UK with the position of the bombed places like in Baedeker Blitz? ※ Sobreira ◣◥ ፧ (parlez)⁇﹖ 21:29, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
