Daily Life In Le Havre

A view of a modern interior of Saint Joseph Church in Le Havre. The city of Le Havre was bombed from as early as 1941, suffering the loss of 5,100 inhabitants; a further 80,000 were made homeless, as 12,500 buildings were reduced to rubble. From 26 August 1944, Royal Navy ships and Royal Air Force aircraft carried out a blockade and an extensive preparatory bombardment of the city, which killed over 2,000 civilians and only 19 German troops. The German garrison of about 11,000 men surrendered on 12 September 1944. On Tuesday, July 16, 2019, in Le Havre, Normandy, France. (Photo by Artur Widak/NurPhoto)
