[PLAYTHROUGH] UK I Mission 4 I London City
0London City - "London suffered a lot during the Nazi bombing campaign lasting more than eight months. Blitz did not spare ever the oldest, purely civil parts of the capital, such as The City. The district was filled with fires, smoke and debris, above which you could see the Saint Paul's Cathedral. The church miraculously escaped serious damage.
Being in a state of constant threat, Londoners coped with the stress by showing the so-called Blitz spirit, best described with the legendary slogan "Keep Calm and Carry On". "

WW2 Rebulider is a first-person simulator where you will help Europe rise from the ashes after the Second World War and turn the ruins into welcoming homes for millions of people again. See the famous european cities on their knees, walk the streets of London destroyed by Blitz, combat-torned french towns or almost completely ruined Warsaw.
Clear the city of debris so that you can start rebuilding. Cut wrecks and smash ruined walls. The resources are few, so try to recycle everything you can. Undamaged bricks can be reused and even ordinary rubbish will be useful for filling cavities in the streets.

Real World London City:
The city's population fell rapidly in the 19th century and through most of the 20th century, as people moved outwards in all directions to London's vast suburbs, and many residential buildings were demolished to make way for office blocks. Like many areas of London and other British cities, the City fell victim to large scale and highly destructive aerial bombing during World War II, especially in the Blitz. Whilst St Paul's Cathedral survived the onslaught, large swathes of the area did not and the particularly heavy raids of late December 1940 led to a firestorm called the Second Great Fire of London.
There was a major rebuilding programme in the decades following the war, in some parts (such as at the Barbican) dramatically altering the urban landscape. But the destruction of the older historic fabric allowed the construction of modern and larger-scale developments, whereas in those parts not so badly affected by bomb damage the City retains its older character of smaller buildings. The street pattern, which is still largely medieval, was altered slightly in places, although there is a more recent trend of reversing some of the post-war modernist changes made, such as at Paternoster Square.
