Alice, what are your strongest memories of it? Alice: Well, I was only seven years old at the time, and the first bombs fell a long way from my house. But I remember that the house shook and I looked through my bedroom window. I remember seeing fires in the distance. Ive never forgotten that. London was on fire all around me. There were so many fires that the clouds in the sky turned pink. Unforgettable.,Interviewer: Yes, indeed. Alice: I also remember that my parents were very annoyed with me. Interviewer: Why? Alice: Because I was looking through my bedroom window. You werent supposed to do that. You had to keep your windows covered all the time at night. Interviewer: Henry. What are your first memories of the Blitz? Alice: Well, Im older than Alice, and I was 12 when the bombing started. The first thing I remember was the sound of the planes. They flew very low. My brother and I went out into the street to watch. We never told my parents about that. If Id told them about that, they would have killed me!,Interviewer: how did you feel when you went into the street? Were you afraid? Alice: Well, yes, I suppose I was. But I also remember feeling very excited. Interviewer: And did any of the bombs drop near you? Alice: Not on the first night, no. And I often wonder why. I suppose because we werent near any factories and we werent near the docks. A lot of bombs fell on the docks. Interviewer: And later? Alice: Later, yes. A bomb fell on our street. Interviewer: Did you see it?,Alice: No. We were in the air-raid shelter. Otherwise I wouldnt have survived. Actually, we were in the underground station. Thats right, the underground station. If I remember rightly, we werent supposed to do that. Interviewer: Really? Alice: Yes. The government thought that it wouldnt be safe, so they put chains on the doors. A lot of people thought it would be the safest place so they broke the chains. After that, a lot of people went there. Interviewer: And they were right. It WAS much safer in the underground.,Alice: Yes, you felt much safer in the underground. They were shelters above the ground as well. And it was much noisier there. Interviewer: Henry, whats your strongest memory? Henry: One night, my father and me came out of the house later than everyone else. We had to run about half a mile to the underground station. And it was one of the worst nights. The sky was full of planes, and you could hear the sounds of falling bombs. That was terrible. Ill never forget hearing that sound.,Interviewer: What else do you remember, Alice? Alice: The firemen. Interviewer: The firemen? Alice: Yes, they were wonderful. As soon as there was a fire, a fire engine arrived. I can remember them shouting to each other. Very brave men. Interviewer: How often did the bombers come?,Henry: Every night. Interviewer: Really? Henry: yes, and not just once a night. I remember counting the time between the raids one nightther
