Would you have been obliterated back in 1940 and 1941 when the Germans were trying to break the spirit of the nation during the Blitz? Now you can find out.
The interactive Bomb Sight map, put together by a team at the University of Portsmouth using data from The National Archives, shows Blitz data on a street-by-street basis across the entire Greater London area. It even fills in details about the type of bomb dropped, should that have been worked out and recorded as part of the London WWII bomb census put together at the time.
Each red dot is where a bomb fell. Some 20,000 Londoners were killed during the Blitz. You know the rest. [Bomb Sight via BBC]

These maps have been around for years.
Most of the pubs around South East Kent have them on the walls, with a black dot denoting a dropped bomb. The area that I live in is almost completely black. The Luftwaffe bombers would drop any left over bombs on us on their way back from London to save on fuel.
Yup, one fell right where my old office is in Bermondsey. Probably would have hit me on my head, and there were another 5/6 all over the estate I worked on. Scary!
