The Week We Went To War - Season 1 Episode 5
In the last programme of the series the story of one of the most unexpected and intensive bombing raids in Britain is told, when the town of Clydebank, in Scotland, was virtually wiped off the map. Survivors of the raid talk about their recollections in The Week We Went To War. The programme also takes a look at how life changed, in particular for women, and focuses on work at the Royal London Hospital. And evacuee Glenys Webster, who was moved from Lee, in South London, to Tonbridge, in Kent, recalls watching the Battle of Britain being fought in the skies above her and how she feared for the safety of her family in London.
