Excerpts: 7-30-44 to 7-31-44 World War ll London Blitz Diary


  • Sunday July 30, 1944 
The weather is a bit better. The night was bad, but I slept on in the morning until eight o’clock. I breakfasted at leisure since Ted is on holiday, bathed, and then cooked my solitary meal. I spent most of the rest of the day writing to Harold. Bombs were coming on and off all day. There is news of a rumor that Rommel is dead, killed in the battle in Normandy.
  • Monday July 31, 1944 
A very bad night, bombs started coming at a quarter to midnight and no all clear given until six o’clock this morning. This is very nerve racking, and its eerie being the house alone.
