During the Battle of Britain, the Luftwaffe
gaged several air strikes against numerous targets in Great
Britain. Their normal flight path took them over the white
cliffs of Dover. This song was meant as encouragement for the
British in their darkest moments in the Battle of Bntain, giving
them hope of seeing Bluebirds over the White Cliffs of Dover
instead of the Luftwaffe. Of particular interest is the line
"Jimmy will go to sleep in his own room again..". It
meant little Jimmy, who slept outside in an air raid shelter
most of the time, might get to sleep in his own room again when
the war was over. Interestingly enough, the air raid shelter
Jimmy slept in was destroyed by a direct hit one moming, but for
some reason Jimmy and his family had decided to sleep in the
house that night and nobody was hurt.
