Exeter Blitz

The ruins of St Catherine's Almshouses, preserved amongst modern buildings as a memorial of the Blitz

The term Exeter Blitz refers to the air raids by the German Luftwaffe on the British city of Exeter, Devon, during the Second World War. The city was bombed in April and May 1942 as part of the so-called "Baedeker raids", in which targets were chosen for their cultural and historical, rather than their strategic or military, value.
