Summary

Description

Gas Identification officer wearing helmet with two diamonds identifying him, as he holds gas detection paper during gas attack preparations. This picture was taken during the London Blitz, a series of heavy air raids over Britain between 7 September 1940 to 10 May 1941 a total of 8 months of daily bombings. Hitler’s target were industrial buildings and civilian centres, especially those which shared a connection with war effort. Winston Churchill encouraged the population and lead Britain into a defence which became known as the Battle of Britain, where British airplanes, mostly the Supermarine Spitfire, gained popularity. Thus, the Luftwaffe and Luftflotten were ordered to attack London, with the aim of invading the United Kingdom. Hopefully, Operation Barbarossa in 1941 turned Hitler’s attention to Russia.
