Battle of London

Battle of London

The Battle of London is a 15 minute British propaganda film made in 1941. It chronicles the Battle of Britain's impact on the capital city.

The first scenes are of a quiet, peaceful London, apparently before the Battle, then quickly progresses to the first spate of bombings that the city endured and the spirit of resilience in which Londoners pull together in various ways to keep the city going.

The film ends with the stirring cry "London can take it, and London can give it too!"
