Which Welsh town was subject to the '3 nights blitz'?

• A. Swansea
• B. Cardiff
• C. Wrexham
• D. Newport

Answer: (A)

The three nights blitz refers to the Luftwaffe bombing of Swansea in February 1941, when the town's docks and industry were hit on three consecutive nights. This sequence is why Swansea is associated with the phrase; it stands out as a single, memorable event in Welsh wartime bombing history. Other Welsh towns did face raids, but the label “three nights” is specifically tied to Swansea’s ordeal, making it the best match.
