85 years ago today — December 13, 1940 — Sheffield lay in ruins. At this point, six hours after the 4.17am all-clear, fires were still burning, whole streets had vanished, and tens of thousands of families were trying to make sense of what had happened to their city overnight.

For the past 15 years, I’ve been immersed in the Sheffield Blitz — recording memories, digging through British and German arch
