Norwich Air Raids (6165 words) |
 | Many of the raids were at night or in the early morning, but the most damaging visitations, and those that caused many of the casualties, took place in the afternoon or early evening. |
| From this date until the heavy raid on the city of the 27th April, 1942, Norwich enjoyed a period of quiescence; a good many air raid warnings were sounded throughout this time but no incidents of note occurred. |
| This reduction of raids, both in regard to their size and number, gave adequate proof (were any needed) of the fact that the enemy were feeling the pinch in other quarters and that the initiative had passed from their control to ours. |
| Baedeker Blitz at AllExperts (410 words) |
| The Baedeker Blitz or Baedeker raids were a series of Vergeltungsangriffe (retaliatory raids) German bombing raids on English cities in response to the bombing of the erstwhile Hanseatic League city of Lübeck during World War II. |
| The Baedeker Raids were conducted by the German Luftwaffe Loftflotte 3 in two periods between April and June 1942. |
| The cities were reputedly selected from the German Baedeker Tourist Guide to Britain, meeting the criterion of having been awarded three stars hence the English name for the raids. |
