    London underground during ww2

    The tunnels of London's public subway were used as air raid shelters to escape the continuous Luftwaffe bombings on the city.

    As the V-1 approached its target, the buzzing noise could be heard by persons on the ground. At a preset distance, the engine would suddenly cut out and there would be momentary silence as the bomb plunged toward the ground, followed by an explosion of the 1,870 pound warhead.

    The first V-1s were launched against London on June 13, 1944, a week after the D-Day landings. During the first V-1 bombing campaign, up to 100 V-1s fell every hour on London. Over an 80 day period, more than 6,000 persons were killed, with over 17,000 injured and a million buildings wrecked or damaged.

    A great picture of Regent Street. Many of the current buildings went up in the 1920s so this is a fascinating look at what was there previously...
