How useful are sources B and C in helping you to understand the effects of the blitz on people in Britain?

        Source C is useful because it indicates the strength or the British heart and soul, even while they were at war. The main idea of the image, which was published at the start of the war, was to lift morale of the country. The government knew morale was low due to the fact the working class were the ones being targeted by the German bombs, not the Upper class. The masses of the British public are looking cheerful and willing to do whatever they can to help the country they love. The media knew they could not cover up the situation as Londoners were fully aware they were getting bombed, so they used “propaganda” pictures to show Britain is winning the war, even though that was not the case. The photograph sums up the “positive spin” that was created by the government and media, in order to prevent things from going downhill, hence lifting morale of the British public.

        Both sources are images captured by the media which help make us understand what it was like to live through the bombardment of the blitz. The sources both indicate the fact the media and the government tended to censor images they thought the images would lower morale in Britain, as well as creating a positive spin to give the impression Britain was winning the war. Both sources are useful because they give the overall view that the Blitz was having huge amounts of impact on the British community, mainly because of the deaths and the possibility of an all-around loss.
