London Blitz during World War II?

Question

I have two pieces of information I need to know. I might need more later!! I am writing a story about London in World War II, and I need to know: what did they call their living room? A living room? Parlor? What? Plus what was the real word for the German bombing planes? I don't want to call them bombing planes in my story!!!

Answer 1

The Parlour was a more formal place usually reserved for special occasions. A sitting room was often to one side of the more formal Parlour and was used as we would a Living Room.

During the Blitz, the bombing of London, individual names of the aircraft were generally not given and only referred to as "the Luftwaffe" which was german for the German Airforce. History texts ofter refer to the "Luftwaffe" bombing the cities or defending Germany, much the same way as "The Royal Air Force or RAF" was used in reports to indicate activity of the British.

Answer 2

I don't know about the living room, but a German bomber was called a German bomber rather than a bombing plane. The dive bomber was a Junkers Ju 87 Stuka, the medium bombers were mainly Heinkel He 111s and Dornier Do 17s, and the heavy bombers, when they finally began to roll off the production lines, were products of the principal German aircraft manufacturers Heinkel, Junkers, Dornier, Messerschmitt, and Focke-Wulf.

See the link below for more information.

Answer 3

The main living room was usually the kitchen or sitting room. The parlour was usually the front room of the house which was only used when guests came.
The main german bombers were Dorniers , Heinkels and Junkers they were usually accompanied by Messerschmidt fighters

Answer 4

German 'bombing planes' were called 'bombers'.

The living room was the 'lounge' or the 'parlour' - note the U.

Answer 5

I believe the term was sitting room or parlor. Either would be
appropriate.

If you are referring to actual airplanes bomber would work.

If you are referring to the self propelled bombs the German's
launched fro the french coast. those were called buzz bombs
because of the noise they made.

Answer 6

previous woman hasn't responded the question purely telling us fairly some youngsters were evacuated, the question is 'What became it like for children in the time of international conflict II in London?' i'm 40 3 so don't have first hand adventure yet distinct thoughts for children occured from taking section in on bomb web pages, gathering shrapnel (fragments of exploded shells and bombs) off the streets to being terrified, fearful and unhappy even as acquaintances were killed. My mom inlaw recollects the V1 & V2 rockets and nevertheless suffers such as her nerves because of them.
