Damage in Plymouth
In the two intensive attacks on the 20 and 21 March, 336 people lost their lives. Five further attacks in April brought the toll to 590. There was hardly a building in Plymouth that wasn’t touched in some way by the Blitz. Much of the city center was obliterated and although many buildings remained among the debris, most were damaged beyond repair.
