70 YEARS ON: TIME TO REMEMBER BLITZ VICTIMS
German bombing of Southampton during the Second World War killed 631 citizens and seriously wounded a further 898. More than 1,000 homes were destroyed.
The Daily Echo commemorates the Sotonians who were killed during the enemy bombing raids.
Behind the Roll of Honour, listed below in order of residency from Southampton’s official archives, are countless stories of tragedy, grief and courage.
During the war there were at least 57 bombing raids and 1,500 alerts. More than 30,000 incendiaries and 2,300 bombs, totalling more than 470 tonnes of high explosives, were dropped on Southampton homes, shops, factories, as well as port and military installations.
Almost 45,000 buildings were destroyed or damaged and there were reports that the glow of Southampton burning could be seen from as far away as Cherbourg in France.
The memorial walls project has been backed with a £50,000 contribution from Southampton City Council.
A Daily Echo-backed fundraising campaign, spearheaded by the Chamber of Commerce, is under way to find an additional £60,000.
More than £10,000 has been raised so far.
