The Luftwaffe Ww11

The stars were obscured By the Bombers that night. People rushed to the shelters Simply shaking with fright. Mothers and children Were forced from their beds To obey the noise of sirens Which rang through their heads. A cold breeze was blowing As shrapnel fell to the ground.

That night was so gloomy Searchlights reached the sky In that terrible air raid When the 'Luftwaffe' droned by.
