Nice find Justin.
For anyone interested in following this up, and finding out how the raids over Britain developed, I can recommend First Blitz by Neil Hanson as a good read.

Two more very interesting ones Attilio. The interview of the survivor of North St. School was of great interest to me because that raid is the basis for the book The Baby Killers.
