The Impact of the November raid

The Coventry raid’s effects were so much more mentally dislocating than attacks on other British cities. There was a feeling of betrayal among Coventry's residents at a failure by the authorities to prepare for the war meant there was a lack of emergency water supplies. This thwarted firefighting efforts and led to considerable extra destruction, most notoriously in the case of the Cathedral. The destruction in Coventry was very personal, everybody knew each other.
