Rare Color Footage of London Blitz Found in Attic

LONDON (AP) — Rare color footage of the bomb damage inflicted on London during World War II has surfaced on the eve of the 70th anniversary of the Blitz.

The dramatic footage shows the destruction of several London landmarks, including the flagship John Lewis store on Oxford Street.

The film was released Monday by Westminster Council to mark the start of the devastating German bombing campaign that began September 7, 1940, and continued until May 1941.

The film was found in the attic by the family of an air raid warden who shot it on the home movie equipment in use in the 1940s.

The footage also shows wartime leader Winston Churchill visiting bomb sites to assess the damage.

Naziphobia!

Only a tiny minority of Nazis flew planes over London and dropped bombs. The vast majority of Nazis were decent, non-violent, stay-at-home people who worked hard in the munitions factories and liked nothing better after a hard days work than to down a couple of steins at the local beer keller, sing a rousing chorus of Horst Wessel, and then go out and clean the neighborhood of Jews.

So don't blame an entire community for the faults of a minority. If it weren't for Naziphobe troublemakers like Churchill, the peaceloving Fascists would never have needed to defend themselves against England's resistance to invasion.

the Story of the 3 Jars...

there were 3 jars, the first jar was cracked anything put into it ran out. the second jar was covered anything put in it fell away. the last jar was contained Poison, anything put into it became poison.

enough talk about Nazis, they have no connection what so ever with Islam. Islam makes the Nazi's look downright civilized.
