GLASGOW did not suffer such intense air raids during 1940 as did many large English cities.

But any complacency that the Nazi's air force would leave it untouched was dispelled by intense bombing raids on the nights of March 13 and 14, 1941.

An estimated 250 German bombers attacked targets on Clydeside and caused extensive damage and heavy casualties. The raids known as the "Clydebank Blitz" caused devastation in the town.

However, more people were killed in Glasgow, where the damage was spread over a wider area.

In the worst single incident, 110 people died when a landmine exploded between a tram and a tenement in Nelson Street, above.

Tenements were destroyed in Kilmun Street, with 83 deaths, and 80 workers were killed in a direct hit on their shelter at Yarrow's Shipyard.

In Peel Street, Partick, 50 people died when their tenements were bombed.
