Conker’s offices in 1942 following an air raid.

In reprisal for RAF raids on non-military targets in Germany, the Luftwaffe started to target cities of historic significance in the UK based on the ‘Baedeker’ travel guide books.  Cities bombed included Exeter, Bath, Norwich, York and Canterbury.  Stour Street was hit on 1st June 1942.

Thankfully our relations with Germany are now entirely PASSIV!
