Norwich Skyline-1-

Norwich is a city in Norfolk, East Anglia which is in Eastern England. It is the regional administrative centre and county town of Norfolk. During the 11th century Norwich was the second largest city in England, and one of the most important places in the kingdom. It has since been eclipsed, but still plays an important role in the United Kingdom.

Norwich in The Hot War[]

Norwich was one of two British cities destroyed by Soviet atomic bombs on 1 February 1951, in retaliation for American nuclear attacks on Manchurian cities on 23 January.[1]

The Army and Scotland Yard immediately cordoned off the city, in part to help them deal with the devastation and in part to keep away sightseers.[2]

Norwich in Southern Victory[]

In 1944, Norwich was one of three British cities destroyed on the same day by German superbombs.[3] The other two cities destroyed were Brighton and the capital city of London.
