This was the Luftwaffe's trail of terror across the Brighton and Hove. Every red dot was a bomb and every bomb a heart-stopping moment of fear, injury or death.
The first Nazi bomb to fall on Brighton wrecked homes in Whitehawk Road. Before the war ended 227 civilians were killed and 510 seriously injured.
The chilling wail of the sirens sounded well over 1,000 times sending people scurrying to the shelters. The German bombers destroyed or damaged more than 20,000 homes and 476 high explosive bombs fell on Brighton, Hove, Rottingdean, Saltdean and Shoreham.
Many were dropped by crews jettisoning their bombs before returning to their bases across the Channel. They fell indiscriminately bringing death and destruction to the town where a German Prince Regent built his palace.
