The Hull Blitz was the bombing campaign that targeted the English port city of Kingston upon Hull by the German Luftwaffe during the Second World War.
Large-scale attacks took place on several nights throughout March 1941, resulting in over 200 deaths. The most concentrated attacks were on the nights of 7/8 and 8/9 May 1941, resulting in just under 400 deaths, and another large-scale attack took place in July 1941 with 143 fatalities.
The city spent more than 1, 000 hours under alert during raids from 19 June 1940 to 1945, with almost 1, 200 people in the city killed as a result of the bombing.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Fountain Road in Hull, Yorkshire, during the blitz of World War Two. This powerful print captures the aftermath of a devastating bombing raid by the German Luftwaffe. The scene depicts a courageous collaboration between emergency services, local residents, and the army as they tirelessly search through rubble and craters left by enemy bombs. The Hull Blitz was a relentless bombing campaign that targeted Kingston upon Hull, an English port city. Throughout March 1941, large-scale attacks occurred on multiple nights resulting in over 200 deaths. However, it was the concentrated assaults on May 7th and 8th that inflicted nearly 400 casualties. Another significant attack took place in July with 143 fatalities. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience displayed by the people of Hull during these dark times. Enduring over 1,000 hours under alert from June 1940 to 1945, this city bore witness to unimaginable destruction caused by relentless bombings. With almost 1,200 lives lost due to these raids alone, each faceless figure captured within this photograph represents countless stories of bravery and sacrifice. As we reflect upon this haunting image taken on March 19th, 1941 - let us remember those who lived through such horrors and honor their memory.
