Scotland Versus Hitler [I Love History]

The German air raids on London are well known, but few people know that the second most bombed town in the UK was Peterhead in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Or that the first Nazi raid on Scotland was on the Firth of Forth, when two Scottish RAF squadrons chased the Germans away, downing the first German plane to be shot down on British soil. The Clydebank Blitz is fairly well known, when the Nasties sought to cripple Scotland and Britain's capacity for building and repairing shipping, but few people know about what was probably the last air battle in Western Europe in April 1945 when Mosquitoes from Banff intercepted a German force of 18 planes and shot down 14 of them.
Lots of forgotten history there.
