英国最光辉的时刻
in september 1940, the german luftwaffe began to attack london. daylight raids proving too costly, the germans turned to night attacks, and night after night bombs rained down.
it is not possible to record all the self-sacrifice that the ordinary british people made for the common good: women fire-fighters who stood their ground while buildings were crumbling all around them; teenagers who toiled for hours helping move the rubble in the search for survivors; pensioners ready to die firing a shotgun at the enemy"as long as i take one with me". and as a gesture of defiance, the royal family remained in london, putting themselves at risk of being blown to bits every night, and winning the loyalty of the people.
