What Is It Like To Live In A City Under Constant Aerial Attack?



WW2 wasn’t the first conflict to feature the aerial bombardment of cities and civilians, but due to the huge step up in technology between WW1 and WW2 meant that the death and destruction from bombing campaigns would reach a whole new level.

  2. It must have been terrifying to live in a city under constant aerial attack. The psychological stress alone would have been unbearable. Imagine the fear and uncertainty of never knowing when the next bomb would drop.I also have a history channel and I hope everyone can check it out and give me some feedback so I can improve myself.

  3. I would know something about that. From 2015-2017 I lived in Donetsk the breakaway DNR republic. I worked in media and had the feeling of constant doom. Every so often, around the clock Kiev's forces would drop mortars, artillery rounds and even ballistic missiles on civilian targets. My own apartment building was hit by a Tochka missile one night late in early 2017. The building survived the hit. It was all random and surrealistic. A human tragedy like few others as it hits the 10 year mark this year.

  4. Not sure how much point there is to the video even though it's a good watch. The answer is terrible, miserable at times but not something the population dwells on at the time. Often considered a nuisance being regularly bombed. I know because my father was on the receiving end of regular raids in England.
