Book Description
"Between ourselves," 101-year-old Mrs Elizabeth Dick told the Mayor of Bath, "Hitler thought he'd frighten me. But he didn't."
He killed 417 Bath people, though. And destroyed over 200 buildings of architectural or historical interest. His bombers came to Bath on two April nights in 1942, their declared aim to revenge Royal Air Force attacks on the ancient Baltic cities of Rostock and Lubeck.
The city was undefended - surprisingly, as it housed part of the British Admiralty and several war industries. The bombers chose their targets unhurriedly and unmolested. The Assembly Roomsd were gutted, the Circus and Royal Crescent set on fire.
This is the story of the raid.
