The Baedeker Raids were a series of bombing raids targeting British cities of mainly historical and cultural importance, designed to cause as much civilian and cultural damage as possible. One of the cities targeted was York, and in this video, I take an immersive look at the night in April 1942 when York was bombed.
The main sources for this video were Fire Over York by Charles Whiting and militaryhistories.co.uk/york.
