‘The bomber will always get through…’
Saturday 15th October – 7pm – 8:30pm, Ramsgate Tunnels
Ramsgate Tunnels volunteer and local historian Isaac Naylor will be giving a series of winter talks over the course of the next few months on a series of topics covering Ramsgate’s wartime story.
Between 1939 and 1945, Ramsgate was subject to the full horrors of total war, from the anticipation of poison gas attacks; to aerial bombing, and even shelling from the coast of France! With Stanley Baldwin’s grim 1932 prophecy that the ‘bomber will always get through’, brought into a stark reality. It is little wonder why the east Kent coast became known as Hellfire Corner. Isaac will describe the preparations for and the impact of, the bombardment of a small coastal resort town, discussing the various facets of life, under the ever-present threat of attack, and exploring what it was like to be a member of the town’s Air Raid Precautions, later Civil Defence Services, to the physical effects of bombs falling and the damage caused.
