Swansea Blitz

No, I'm not talking about the dodgy men's club on Wind Street. I've recently become interested in the history of Swansea during the Second World War. I'm especially fascinated by first hand accounts of the Three Nights Blitz, which took place on the 19th, 20th and 21st of February 1941. I was especially delighted to discover online scans of several pages from an air raid warden's diary -

I've been doing a little bit of research, and these are the first-hand accounts I've found of wartime Swansea, so far. I hope you enjoy them.
