Does Source D support the evidence of Sources B and C about the damage done during air raids?
Sources B and D both show the immense damage that was caused by the air raids during the Blitz. Both pictures were published long after the blitz started which shows how long the British people had to put up with the bombing (for a long time). Source D was published several months after it was taken because the government didn’t want to publish images that gave the impression Britain was losing the war, especially when morale was low at the time it was taken. Source B was also censored by the government as the “body bags” suggested Britain was struggling during the blitz, even months after it officially ended in May 1941. This is shown in the source with the quotation “This photograph showing bodies in sacking was banned by the censors.” Both images have disagreements with the damage inflicted on Britain. Source B shows deaths where as source D showed the destruction the air raids executed on people’s homes. This suggests some areas were worse affected by the blitz than others, such as the east end.
