Description

The Bombing of New Mills and Hayfield On 15th June 1944, two remote Derbyshire villages were targeted by a German bombing raid, resulting in significant damage to the iconic Chatsworth House. The attack was part of a broader campaign to weaken Britain's defenses, but it was also a tragic event that had a profound impact on the local community. The raid was carried out by German raiders who were ultimately shot down by Spitfires from the famous 303 Polish Squadron, which played a crucial role in the Battle of Britain. This book tells the story of the bombing of New Mills and Hayfield, and the events that unfolded in the aftermath. With detailed research and a clear narrative, this book provides a unique insight into a significant and often overlooked event in British history.
