    BAEDEKER RAIDS on York 29/4/1942 - In 1942 I lived in my home City of York and after my Dad had left for the war (we saw him again six years later) mother and I and small brother John lived with Auntie Betty in St. Johns Street in a direct line with York Station and the Minster.
    My memory of the raid was seeing the lady across the street throwing a burning matress from an upstairs window. I should have been in the brick and concrete air-raid shelter in the back yard! I don't think as kids we were afraid - just the grown-ups who actually realised what might have happened.
    Regarding this film - I recognise the places, like Nunthorpe Grove. I attended Nunthorpe School ten years after the war and lived in Nunthorpe Avenue.
