In 1940, for how long was London bombed every night?

• A. 1 month
• B. 6 weeks
• C. 3 months
• D. 2 months

Answer: (D)

The question checks your recall of how long London faced nearly nightly bombing during the early phase of the Blitz. In the autumn of 1940 the Luftwaffe bombed London almost every night for about eight weeks, roughly from early September to early November. That intense period is why it’s described as London being bombed every night for around two months. After that stretch, raids continued but with longer gaps and less uniform nightly bombardment, so the two-month figure best captures the initial, most continuous phase.
