Condon Raid Continues With Heavy Luftwaffe Assault
The raid plummeted onto London with sparks and flames, with reports of at least one downed enemy plane over the city and another shot off the northeast coast. German aircraft also crossed the Channel and were destroyed shortly after. It marked London's largest raid since October 7 1943, when sixty planes dropped bombs and the city’s anti air defenses roared. Flares fell in abundance, including a cluster near St Pauls Cathedral as bombs and shrapnel scattered widely and locals felt the barrage. The attackers twisted and dived in attempts to escape.
