In 1940 the British army is beaten back by the ferocity of the German war machine, the BEF spend several months in a fighting retreat back to Dunkirk, with cover from the RAF in the Battle of France. This war of the air quickly becomes the Battle of Britain, when the determination and persistence of RAF Fighter Command is tested to the limit as the German Luftwaffe bomb the South East of England.
Herman Georing (2nd from right) makes a fatal error in choosing to bomb cities instead of airfields, allowing the RAF to gain the upper hand.
The war of the Atlantic also begins as German U-boats pose a large threat to Allied shipping and the Merchant Navy (Far right) with 40 vessels lost in January alone.
Hope you like the figures for day 2, thanks for taking a look! :)
Back in the Netherlands. Rotterdam has not much historical buildings. In the centre of Rotterdam this is one of the most interesting. But history is mostly not found in the buildings of Rotterdam. More on that soon.
The White House was built in Rotterdam in 1897, modelled on American skyscrapers. At the time, it was the tallest office building in Europe. It was one of the few buildings in the city centre to survive the bombing of Rotterdam in 1940.
Het Witte Huis is in 1897 in Rotterdam gebouwd naar voorbeeld van Amerikaanse wolkenkrabbers. Het was destijds het hoogste kantoorgebouw van Europa. Het heeft in 1940 als een van de weinige gebouwen in het stadscentrum het bombardement op Rotterdam doorstaan.
Location: Oude Haven , Rotterdam, Nederland
The 1940 Ford Coupe was the last and best pre-war Ford of its kind, as the 1941 design continued through the war until the end of the 1948 model year.
