Question London bombing raid, Dez.8th 1940

Hi all,
I'm reading on A.Hillgruber and G. Hümmelchen chronology of WW2, that on Dez.8-9th 1940 the Luftwaffe hit London with a big bombing raid.
Anyway I cannot find any info on the web.

Does anyone know more about this fact?

Many thanks in advance,
Marco

Massive attack night of 8-9 Dec 40, most units reporting to have dropped bombs after midnight apart from KG 55. What do you want to know?
