Does anyone know where I could find a the total number of bombs dropped on the UK during the Blitz? I can find info for London / UK cities individually, but I am struggling to find an informed estimate (at least) from a reliable source for the number/tonnage of bombs dropped on the whole of the...

Theoretically, is it possible that a Luftwaffe bomber (say, Heinkel or Junkers) to tune into BBC Radio when flying over the channel / over the UK in Battle of Britain era? If so, which radio would this be? And could the pilot tune into this too? Or only the RO?

Thank you so much for all of the help on this chain - really appreciated!! Andrew A. these conversation sections are fantastic! Do you know if any also exist depicting communications between Luftwaffe command (on the ground / at HQs) and pilots / airbases? E.g., instructions to prepare for...

To add to this.. Would ALL Mammut radar need to be positioned on a vantage point / above sea level? I understand this would be most beneficial to avoid clutter, but were there any exceptions where these were placed either at sea level, or maybe only slightly above? Thanks again!
