German Bombing Map

WWII

In 1941, SPY Historian Andrew Hammond’s grandfather watched as the German Luftwaffe bombed his hometown of Glasgow, Scotland—termed the “Second City of Empire” because of its incredible industrial output. They were guided by maps like these, targeting factories and shipyards for destruction along the River Clyde.
