Worst air raid on London
29th December 1940
On the evening of 29th December 1940, London suffers its most devastating air raid when German planes firebomb the city. Hundreds of fires caused by the exploding bombs engulfed areas of London, but fire fighters showed a valiant indifference to the bombs falling around them and saved much of the city from destruction.
