We visited Coventry Cathedral several years ago, it was preserved as it had been bombed by the Germans in WWII with a brand new cathedral juxtaposed next to it. Do you know if it's still that way? It was quite moving to see.

I don't know I'm afraid, I've never been to Coventry.
The real story of Coventry is that the Brits knew the raid was coming...they had broken the German code machine Enigma and were reading German HQ dispatches almost in real time. The RAF could probably have stopped the raid , but Churchill was afraid that a sudden change in the disposition of Brit fighters would have led the Nazis to think their codes had been compromised..so he didn't pass the news on..as a result..Coventry got clobbered.
