Chelmsford was targeted because of Hoffmanns Ball Bearings and Marconi’s Radio waves.

4. Air Raids Because Chelmsford was such a massive target over 1000
people were left homeless and
50 were killed.
Because of security more than 400
Military sites were installed .Also for
protection SAS (Special Air Services)
Used highlands estate as their
Headquarters!

5. Defences in Chelmsford!
Many people in 1940 bought
Anderson Shelters for an Air Raid.
They were installed in the garden , half
Buried. Though the war was very
dangerous after 2 years people
stopped using them and converted them
into garden sheds!!
Hoffmanns created ball bearings that
were inside spitfires. The English
created spitfires to bomb germany,
So that’s why Germany wanted to bomb
Hoffmanns.

6. Playing a Part in WW2. Chelmsford played a massive
part in ww2. We built spitfires
Used to defend our country. We
also used radio to alert London.
It’s a shame though
that many people forget that
Chelmsford played a part.
We must never forget.
