Anniversary Events Mark 80 Years Since The Cowes Blitz
On the night of the 4th May 1942, 160 German bombers arrived off Cowes. Over 70 people of Cowes and East Cowes died that night and many more were injured — but the Polish destroyer defended East and West Cowes from certain obliteration. This month marks 80 years since that fateful night.
