The Week We Went To War - Season 1 Episode 3 Episodio 3
Today's programme looks at one of the worst nights of the Blitz – 29 December 1940 – and pays tribute to the ordinary British people and, in particular, the firemen of London who helped save St Paul's Cathedral. And the programme features Henry Wuga, who was evacuated at the age of 14 from the heart of Nazi Germany to Britain. But he was arrested in Glasgow and interned on the Isle of Man as an enemy alien. Henry honed his skills as a baker and has since enjoyed a long career as a caterer, and still lives in Glasgow. Today's edition also takes a look at how people entertained themselves during the war and visits Blackpool which, safer than London, was where, night after night, the show went on – even if the illuminations didn't.
