Looks like London, 1940-41

From Churchill’s VE day speech -

“”There we stood, alone. Did anyone want to give in? Were we down-hearted? The lights went out and the bombs came down. But every man, woman and child in the country had no thought of quitting the struggle. London can take it. So we came back after long months from the jaws of death, out of the mouth of hell, while all the world wondered. When shall the reputation and faith of this generation of English men and women fail?”

Churchill (the UK) was not alone. Russia was doing the fighting and dying to bring down the Nazis on the Eastern Front. Maybe you didn't learn this in your history classes? Here's a refresher for you:
