Sheffield - The Forgotten Blitz

Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One YorkshireLatest broadcast: on BBC One Yorks & Lincs

In December 1940, the full horror of World War Two came to Sheffield. Over two nights, Luftwaffe raids left more than 600 dead and 40,000 homeless. Author Terry Deary tracks down survivors and unearths never-before-published documents to investigate why the Germans laid waste to the city centre whilst virtually ignoring the steel works so vital to Britain's war effort.
