On the night of 15 October 1940, 480 German aircraft dropped an estimated 386 tons of high explosive and 70,000 incendiary bombs on London. The incendiary bombs were something new, and while Londoners sought shelter in basements, important and historical buildings burned out of control above their heads. If this were to continue, nothing of London would be left. Winston Churchill became the chiding angel. "'To the basement!'" he said, "must be replaced by 'To the roofs!'" With a courage born of near desperation the people no longer went into hiding when the nightly attacks began. With little or no protection beyond a tin hat, the able-bodied among them took to the streets and the rooftops as fire spotters and fire fighters and saved much of their city.
