One of the Junkers 88’s 250 kg bombs lies in the foreground as crowds of sightseers begin to gather. According to the Birkenhead Advertiser of 12 October 1940 the battle, and the crashed bomber itself, was ‘A tonic sight for hundreds’. The same page, reporting attacks on ‘an industrial quarter’ also went on to note: ‘It is officially announced that up to September 15th there were twenty-six recorded cases of enemy aircraft machine-gunning civilians in this country, and several cases have occurred since.’ As the Blitz on Britain had amply demonstrated, this was total war and the civilian population was very much in the front line.
