Success Criteria… I can explain why certain bombs were used to bomb Clydebank. I can evaluate how people were able to protect themselves from the bombing I can take notes from a audio-visual source and use them to create a research project.

The Blitz The Blitz was a series of air raids by the German Air Force (Luftwaffe) on Britain. It lasted from September 1940 – May 1941 and targeted major cities in Britain. Clydebank was bombed as part of the Blitz.

Types of bombs used The bombs dropped weighed between 50Kg – 2,000Kg 1kg is the weight of a bag of sugar Most bombs were explosives

Incendiary bombs Incendiary bombs (fire bombs) did not explode but they started fires.

The Clydebank Blitz On March 13th and 14th 1941, 460 German bombers attacked Clydebank Their main target was the John Brown shipyard. They already had photos of it taken by spy planes The weather conditions were perfect for the bombers.

The Clydebank Blitz came in two phases: Bombers flew over Clydebank, and dropped incendiary bombs on areas that would catch fire quickly – the distillery and a timber yard. This was to guide the next wave of bombers. Guided by the fires from the first wave of bombs, a second wave came in and bombed the shipyards.

What was the impact of the bombing on Clydebank? Video Task Write the following heading in your jotter: What was the impact of the bombing on Clydebank? As you watch the following programme, you need to take detailed notes on the impact of the bombing on Clydebank. These should include: Dates and events Personal stories / accounts Any other relevant information https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXmiE5YUUn8

How did people protect themselves from the Blitz? Evacuated children to the countryside. Built ‘Anderson’ shelters in their gardens, or if they didn’t have a garden, people made ‘Morrison’ shelters in their homes. Everyone was made to carry gas masks wherever they went.

So called ‘Operation Sea Lion’ The Blitz was part of Hitler’s attempt to invade Britain. So called ‘Operation Sea Lion’

‘Operation Sea Lion’ was stopped by the Battle of Britain – Hitler could not invade if he did not have full control of the skies. The Battle of Britain took place in August and September 1940 – it is one of the most important battles of World War II. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLUyEXO-jI0
