5.0 out of 5 starsAn Emotionally, Powerful Documentary About "London's Longest Night"
By Kenneth M. Gelwasser VINE VOICE on April 28, 2006
The PBS documetary, "The Blitz London's Longest Night" is a fascinating look at both the facts and feelings, that surrounded the night of December 29, 1940, when Hitler's bombers lead an unprecedented ariel attack apon the city of London. The ferocious fires, that the attack started, nearly burned a whole square mile of London to the ground. The main target of the attack seems to have been, St. Paul's Cathedral, which was both an iconic part of the London skyline and also an important symbol of English history. The intent was to have been to try and scare the British people into overnight submission and break their will. Luckily, history did not play out that way. Instead of being bombed into submission 'the Blitz' united the British people into a common cause. The documentary is aptly named, because it really does seem to be "London's Longest Night". The film takes us on an hour by hour progression of what happened. It shows us every step of the bombing and the response of both the British firemen and ordinary London citizens alike to extordinary events. The documentary shows us this, through a mixture of narration, actual archival footage, interviews with elderly witnesses and dramatizations of their stories. These elements are seemlessly weaved together to tell an interesting and emotionally arresting tale. The dramatizations are very well done and most effective. Among these stories we meet a family in a bomb shelter, a man accompanied by his wife trying to return to his rescue unit, two foreign reporters getting the story, a number of firemen working to contain the fires and a priest and his cohorts trying to protect St.Paul's from burning down. The story of St. Paul's Cathedral is most important, because it really is the emotional backbone (or spine) of the film.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsWho did Hitler think he was dealing with?
By JOHN GODFREY on September 11, 2007
London on the abyss in December 1940. We all know about the The Battle of Britain. This story of the the Blitz was more informative, personal & enlightening than anything I have seen or read. My one brief visit to London did not do this city justice & I never realized how much damage was done to the center of the city in the square mile surrounding St. Paul's Cathedral, indeed the symbol of London. I had never heard the details of the heroic efforts employed to save it that night. First, fire bombs to light the way for the heavy bombers, then the fire storms & the target of all that was still standing. Then the Germans blinked. They recalled another wave of bombers that surely would have destroyed London. The moment passed & they were never quite able to maintain the advantage they had December 29, 1940. The blending of actual documentary footage & recreations made for 90 minutes of compelling viewing. Survivors & participants of that night were interviewed. Many of them are very old but their memories are fresh. It is obvious from the emotions on their faces recalling that night that this was a life altering experience. One you never forget. Scenes of London today at the closing was a fitting end.

5.0 out of 5 starsRiveting Drama
By Amazon Customer on April 22, 2011
Verified Purchase
I bought this DVD for my husband as he is a WW2 history buff. The production quality was excellent and told the story from the point of view of several different Londoners and their personal experience that night. The movie intersperced present day interviews with re-creations of the event that night during the London Blitz. Told from that point of view makes it truly heartrenching and I found myself tearing up at points in the movie. This DVD is well worth seeing even if you're not a history buff because it's a story that should not be forgotten. It was absolutely amazing and very well done.

5.0 out of 5 starsI hope this never happens to people again....
By Amazon Customer on September 5, 2012

The London Blitz is past history now and yet it is a time that should be learned about and remembered. People who survived the bombings that nearly destroyed London paid for it with their memories and their losses for the rest of their lives. Sometimes we may think that something like that could never happen where we live but any kind of tragedy is looked at afterwards with different eyes of understanding. Before 911 happened, we may not have thought that such a thing could.

This is a very interesting account of that time. It interweaves documentary facts with stories of people and interviews of ones that were there at the time. The program is very worth watching more than once. It led to discussions in our family about history and what it means and how it affects people today. If you are interested in any kind of modern history, this program is recommended.

5.0 out of 5 starsFascinating and educational
By Gary Selikow on July 17, 2013
This is fascinating and most educational documentary about the terrible night on 29 December 1940 in which the Nazis carried out a sustained bombing attack against London, targeting and almost destroying St Paul's Cathedral (which had burned down twice in its twenty year history) and scorching a mile of the city.
Through a series of interviews, real footage and dramatic recreations, we get an idea of the terror, devastation and sacrifices which the ordinary people of London went through. And this is what makes this an incredibly pivotal documentary for anyone with an interest in these events, Should be shown is all schools when studying this period.

Nazi Germany aimed to break the will of the British people but as a citizen of London who lived through the blitz tells us they underestimated the will and valour of the British people. The vicious incendiary bombing of London only strengthened their determination to fight on and their hatred of the Nazi evil. some really poignant and heartbreaking parts.

A lot of young British people are not aware of the devastation caused by the blitz which makes this a truly important documentary. The British people may need to once again prove their metal, in an age of global terrorism and jihad. The one modern parallel I can think of is the sustained wave of terror weathered with valour by the people of Israel in the first decade of the 21st century.
