Swansea Blitz

During World War Two, the German Luftwaffe laid seize on Swansea. The Luftwaffe were to destroy the docks and the nearby oil refinery. However, some domestic areas of Swansea were hit, which resulted in the deaths, of not only military personal, but also civilians. This page is dedicated to those who lost their lives during these raids and are now resting at Bethel Cemetery.
