Anyone too young to remember the Second World War may find it hard to imagine Sheffield devastated after two German raids in December 1940. Hitler had intended to invade Britain after he had defeated the Royal Air Force during the Battle of Britain in the summer of 1940. The few of Fighter Command won the battle, but Germany's air force then turned their to the major cities in Britain. By the re-shooting of the photographs taken just after the bombing a true perspective of the damage suffered by Sheffield can be gained.
