Many of us have heard stories, read books and watched films which show the many impacts of WWII across the world. Today we're giving you another way to understand this period in time - by exploring a new set of historical aerial images, taken over European cities during World War II, via the historical imagery feature in Google Earth. They can now be compared directly to images from the present day.

Google makes discovering Europe very interesting, did they include any pictures of Britain or was it off the map
By the end of May 1941, over 43,000 civilians, half of them in London, had been killed by German bombing and more than a million houses were destroyed or damaged in London alone (think how much as a proportion of the homes in London that was).
London was not the only city to suffer Luftwaffe bombing during the Blitz- Belfast, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Clydebank, Coventry, Exeter, Greenock, Sheffield, Swansea, Liverpool, Hull, Manchester, Portsmouth, Plymouth, Nottingham, Brighton, Eastbourne, Sunderland and Southampton, suffered heavy air raids and high numbers of casualties.
