		Blitz was the sustained and intensive bombing of the United Kingdom by Nazi Germany during 1940—1941.

	The Blitz
		During the Blitz some two million houses (60 per cent of these in London) were destroyed and 60,000 civilians were killed and 87,000 were seriously injured.
		Although explosions could be heard in all directions and the scene was illuminated by the glow of the East End fires civil defence workers laboured fearlessly among the wreckage seeking the wounded, carrying them to safer places, and attending to their wounds before the ambulances arrived.
		We who lived in London through the Blitz were constantly observing pathetic and heroic sights, and constantly experiencing some fresh excess of outrage; even the violently altered appearance of the city was a shock to the system.

	Blitz: The League Review for PlayStation 2 - Gaming Age
		After the debacle known as NFL Blitz Pro, a game that took all the over-the-top greatness of the series and toned everything down to nothing more than just another football game, everyone thought that the Blitz series was done for.
		Blitz the League brings back all the hard hitting, over the top, brutal action that fans loved from the get go, but now with no NFL license, the game has reached limits of brutality that no one thought possible of the series.
