Living in the Shadow of WWII Season 1 Episode 2

Total war extends the battlefields – in the Second World War, for the first time, civilian casualties far outnumbered those of military personnel. And a significant proportion of those casualties were victims of the bombing campaigns waged by both sides. What was the effect of living through “the Blitz”, what precautions were taken, what forms of shelter were constructed? We hear and see stories of the evacuation of children and the organization of home defense.
