Whilst researching Luftwaffe raids on Glasgow, I have found that newspapers tended to be vague, for obvious reasons, as to the areas hit and the extent of the damage. I was wondering if anyone knew if there was such a thing as reports by Air Raid Wardens which would give the real extent of any damage and casualties? On a similar note are there any archives holding records of the Royal Observer Corps?
Many Thanks

Hi

I have just contacted them Jerry although I have to say I don’t expect a great deal of help from that quarter based on past experience!

Many thanks for the responses and the bomb fall map is a great idea – that map of London is incredible – it looks as if hardly anywhere on it would have escaped from at least the blasts.

No reports but worth a look

If you try your local county records office they may have reports and notebooks. It is a matter of luck as to what was preserved.

London has a bomb fall map – you might find similar for other cities
