GCSE Key Skill focus: Usefulness

How useful is this source for an enquiry into the effects of the Blitz on the people of London? What is suggested about the topic? 1= 2= These cruel, indiscriminate bombings of London are, of course, a part of Hitler’s invasion plans. He hopes, by killing large numbers of civilians, and women and children, that he will terrorise the people of this mighty imperial city . . . Little does he know the spirit of the British nation, or the tough fibre of the Londoners. Part of a speech made by the Prime Minister, Winston Churchill - Radio broadcast during the London Blitz, What is the NOP and does this make the source useful? Nature = Origin= Purpose= What do I know to support or challenge the inferences? What wider knowledge do I have that might help me explain the NOP?
