Coventry - The Myth Persists

Coventry Bombing The Aftermath

"Would You Sacrifice a City to Win a War?"

The old myth that Churchill let Coventry burn to preserve secret intelligence dies hard and still lives on in a new play on BBC Radio 4. We offer our refutation.

We are also delighted to announce that Sir Martin Gilbert has offered to write us a definitive article aimed at laying this nonsense to rest once and for all. We shall be publishing the article both here and in Finest Hour as soon as it is available.
