Dulwich was on the receiving end of 41 V1's and 3 V2. It is hardly surprising so many Flyings Bombs fell as the Nazis erroneously had North Dulwich Station as their mean aiming point. The worst tragedies were when a V1 hit the Co-op in Lordship Lane killing 23 and when a rocket struck Etherow Street killing 24
