The London Underground functioned as a series of bomb shelters during the Blitz of World War II. What artist, better-known in another medium, recorded this phenomenon in drawings, even as his own studio was damaged by a German raid? (An illustration would be appreciated.)

Destroyed in World War II (or so we think), this painting was the first version of the subject produced by a great artist for a specific commission, but was rejected for its putative lack of dignity. What was it, and can you provide an illustration? Which World War II bombing raid was code-named Operation Chastise? Traditionally considered to be the founder of a great state following a storied rape, this anti-monarchist is also said to have ordered the execution of his own relatives when they threatened to betray his achievement. This latter episode was represented in a famous painting by an artist who had political reasons for being drawn to it. Who was this man, who was raped, what is the painting, and can you provide an illustration of it? In the movie "The Pianist" it says that a German died in a Soviet prisoner of war camp in 1952, but World War II ended in 1945, so why would they still be holding prisoners at that time?
