Coventry was a major factory city which made cars, boats, and during the war fitted parts for planes. Germany didn't want the British Army and it's allies advancing so, they began to bomb the factories, and streets surrounding it. One of the worst things that happened was the Cathedral was bombed in. This lost many lives.
