The Nazi published a large number of 32-page booklets in a series titled "War Library of the German Youth". They were intended to persuade the youth of the glories of war and often included a pitch to enlist in the military.
The RAF had bombed Munich during the festivities of 8-9 November 1940, the anniversary of the 1923 Beer Hall Putcsh.
Outraged, Hitler ordered retaliation. The Luftwaffe had formerly focused on London. Now it went after Coventry, a city in the English Midlands.
Heavy anti-aircraft fire kept the bombers high, they bombed indiscriminately. They destroyed a great deal of housing along with a 14th century cathedral.
