The Blitz: Britain Under Siege

In May 1941, the city of Liverpool became the primary target of the Nazi Luftwaffe. Over eight terrifying nights, Britain’s most important port was pushed to the breaking point. This documentary explores the "May Blitz" through the eyes of those who lived it: from Captain Howard Kinley and his ship of explosives to film star Mary Lawson and the families of Kirkdale. Witness the incredible bravery of civilians on the front line of the home front as they faced the most intense aerial bombardment of World War 2.
