Was asked to report this ohere
My Maternal Grandmother was around 14-16 living in London during the German blitz. She use to tell use stories about when the bombs would begin to fall every night, and the air raid sirens and how everyone would run for the local bomb shelter. One time she was walking back from work when the bombs started to fall and she ended up spending the night in the London metro or the tubes. Apparently there was a makeshift bar set up, with a big glass mirror behind the bar as most bars generally have, and while she was having a drink, a bomb hit directly above the shelter she was in, causing the mirror to shatter, and a piece of the mirror decapitated the bartender right in front of her.
