Luftwaffe over the North is a tribute to the people in the North East of England who stoically endured the bombardment of the Luftwaffe in the Second World War. Bill Norman describes in detail 24 episodes in the air war over the North of England during 1939-1943. From Berwick upon Tweed in the north to Grimsby in the south, the author gives moving accounts of the devastation inflicted by the Luftwaffe and the length the local communities went to in order to survive the bombardments. With the help of many eyewitness reports, including a number of dramatic first hand stories of German pilots who came to grief over the Yorkshire coast, Luftwaffe over the North enables the reader to relive those dark but heroic days. Luftwaffe over the North serves not just as a historical record but also a timely reminder of the wastefulness of all warfare.
