On 14 November 1940 the German Luftwaffe dropped so many bombs on Coventry that three quarters of the city was destroyed. Such was the devastation, the Germans coined a term to describe it - "to coventrate". This documentary explores the immediate aftermath of the attack, as panic gripped the city and half the population fled. But it also charts Coventry's remarkably rapid revival, and its role in the eventual "coventration" of Hamburg, Dresden, and Berlin, that would ultimately bring Germany to its knees.
