Britain and the Blitz OTT Release Date: When and where to watch Ella Wright¡¯s WWII-set documentary feature film

Britain and the Blitz OTT Release Date: Netflix is set to bring a powerful, immersive WWII documentary to its platform this May 5th. This documentary will delve into the experiences of civilians in Britain during the harrowing Blitz period of World War II. With restored archival footage and firsthand accounts from those who lived through it, Britain and the Blitz promises to bring history to life emotionally and vividly.

What was the Blitz?

The Blitz refers to the sustained bombing campaign carried out by Nazi Germany against the United Kingdom, primarily between September 1940 and May 1941. The term comes from the German word "Blitzkrieg", meaning "lightning war," and this period became one of the most devastating chapters in British history. It is remembered not only for the destruction it caused but for the resilience and unity it sparked among the British population.

The Blitz was marked by the sight of cities being bombed, with London bearing the brunt of the attacks. In response, British civilians sought shelter in underground bunkers and Tube stations. This shared experience of danger, survival, and solidarity became known as the Blitz Spirit, an iconic moment in British history.
