Whit Monday 14th June 1943; the worst day in the history of Grimsby and Cleethorpes!

A detail from an original wartime poster. The ‘Butterfly Bomb’ or Sprengbombe Dickwandig 2 kg or SD 2. Many details about the Luftwaffe raid are available elsewhere on this website.

In memory of the 100+ local people who died as a result of these evil, anti-personnel submunitions (bomblets).
