Couldn't load pickup availability
Now back in print for a limited time - this book reveals the full countdown to the Sheffield attacks as Hitler’s blitz campaign started in earnest over London in September 1940.
Provincial cities began to be picked off one by one as the Germans prepared for the invasion of the UK.
It was only a matter of time for Sheffield – one of the biggest armament producers in the world.
This book chronicles every single raid over Sheffield – the final one being a V1 rocket that landed on Christmas Eve 1944, over four years after the Blitz attacks.
Rare pictures and first-hand accounts make this a gripping read. Also includes full details of the Sheffield Blitz Heritage Walk and Sheffield Blitz museum exhibition.

I already have a book on the Sheffield Blitz - why is this different?

There is no other book that documents every single raid on Sheffield throughout the entire duration of the war.
Countdown to the Sheffield Blitz contains brand new interviews with survivors that have never been in print before, as well as photos that have never been published in other books.
It is based on new primary research and offers a unique perspective, making it very different from any other book on the Sheffield Blitz.
Did you know, for example, that bombs were still being dropped on Sheffield a full four years after the Blitz? The final recorded attack was a V1 rocket ("Doodlebug") that landed in the Beighton area of the city on New Year's Eve, 1944.
