Winston S. Churchill, Their Finest Hour

[investigateworld]

Speaking Britain’s aerial defenses: When I was packing to move, I cleaned up a old German aerial bombing map for a region in the UK's industrial midlands.

I noted an "Isolation Hospital", about two miles from anything, had the same bombing priority as the rail yards and factories.

Hmmmmm I said to myself, why would they waste a bomb on a hospital full of TB patience?

The good folks of the UK would just rush in and carry them out, should there be any survivors?

The map is based on an old UK Ordnance Survey map, with German printing and such. It does lack certain Waffen Kamp markings. It is presently at a pawnshop in Eureka MT, I'm thinking about selling it on E-bay. I'd really like to give every allied airman/soldier/sailor etc a copy as it shows the Germans were prepared and tried to do germ warfare on the civilian population.

If there are any military map specialists in the area, they are welcome to come by Gary's Pawnshop (on Hwy 93) and check it out or authenticate same.

TIA

(The best part? That air raid never happened, per the town historians. They stated they were bombed more during the First World War via Zepplins. God Bless the RAF, my mother was working in a factory there about during that time frame)
