The Night London Caught Fire (Real Footage) #london #london1940 #blitz

September 7th, 1940. The night the sky over London was set on fire. Hundreds of German bombers crossed the Channel and struck the London Docks, beginning the Blitz. For 57 nights in a row, the city was bombed. Families sheltered in Underground stations, firemen fought flames until dawn, and Londoners climbed out of the rubble each morning and went back to work. In this video, we look at the first night of the Blitz, how the fires spread across the East End, and how a city under fire refused to surrender. ⏱ In this video: 00:00 – The sky is burning 00:30 – The bombers cross the Channel 01:30 – The London Docks in flames 03:00 – 57 nights of bombing 04:30 – Life in the Underground shelters 05:30 – London never surrendered 📌 Note: This video combines archival footage with AI-generated and reconstructed scenes created for illustration.
