Cardiff Blitz
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As a major British port, Cardiff was heavily bombed by the Luftwaffe in World War II due to its industrial importance and was one of the cities affected by the mass civilian evacuation.
Llandaff Cathedral, amongst many other civilian buildings, was damaged by the bombing in 1941[1].
As a result of it being a target, Cork in Ireland was mistaken for Cardiff and consequently bombed[2].
