520 $aSeven months after the Nazi blitz began in September 1940, London remained the center of the free world's resistance to Hitler's Germany but-- contrary to popular belief--its "all-in-together" camaraderie was disintegrating. But there was reason for optimism. Churchill remained unfailingly belligerent as he rallied the English. London hadn't been bombed in three weeks. It began to appear that the worst could be over. So, when the first notes of the air raid siren sounded on the evening of May 10, 1941, few citizens even bothered going into shelters. It soon became clear, however, as the bombs began to rain down that this was no ordinary blitz but a Luftwaffe raid so devastating that it would eclipse all others.
