The Sunderland Blitz was a bombing campaign by the German Luftwaffe against the British city of Sunderland during the larger bombing campaign of Britain from 1940 to 1941. Sunderland was an important ship building city and port during World War II. 273 civilians were killed and 389 injured during the bombing. Bombing of the city began on 21 June 1940 and ended in 1941. An estimated 90% of the city's buildings were damaged, and 1,000 destroyed.[1][2]
