In our little Welsh Village near Swansea I remember sitting on the outside toilet when all of a sudden there was this roar I ran outside just in time to see two German Messerschmidt bombers going over the roof nearly knocking the chimney down, they fired on the tin and steel works, it was believed that they were taking photos of the tin and steel works, later we got a raid, two bombs landed in the local farm, and boy was the farmer screaming as it killed all his pigs, there was some damage to a few houses. One boy had a lucky escape he didn't want to go to the shelter but his father picked him up and carried him down, when the raid was over it was found that a huge piece of shrapnel had destroyed the boys pillow.
