Description

Why did the Germans launch a nuisance raid against Sherborne on 6 July 1940? Why have historical accounts of the Sherborne bombing raid of 30 September 1940 been significantly in error? Why have Sherborne's secret factories never been recognised for their outstanding contribution to Britain's war effort during World War Two? Making use of previously unrecognised German records, the author sets out to provide answers to these questions and to unravel the story behind a unique set of photographs held by Sherborne Museum – taken after the raid by an intrepid woman named Lizette Staveley.
