29th December 1940 - London suffered it's most devastating air raid of The Blitz.
Many Londoners had spent their Christmas sheltering in festively decorated Underground railway stations. For two nights the enemy bombers had stayed away, and the anti-aircraft guns remained eerily silent. That silence was shattered as night fell on the 29th December.
Shortly after 6pm the Luftwaffe began their massive raid targeting the square mile of The City of London around St. Paul's Cathedral. They dropped tens of thousands of incendiary bombs and parachute landmines. Just 30 minutes later much of the City was ablaze. One American news reporter dubbed it the Second Great Fire of London.
London's brave firefighters struggled to control the flames. Their efforts were hampered by watermains being hit, as well as the River Thames being at an exceptionally low tide. At least twelve firemen died that night, along with 162 civilians. Many more were injured.
At least 28 bombs hit St. Paul's Cathedral that night. Many of these were dealt with by volunteers of St. Paul's Watch, (a group originally set up by the Cathedral during WWI), who used buckets of water and stirrup pumps to dowse the flames.
Saint Paul's Cathedral was saved. This iconic photograph taken by Herbert Mason was published in the Daily Mail two days later. It became a symbol of London's unconquerable spirit.
