Description
Blitz Diary: Life Under Fire in the Second World War The British public was bracing for war with Germany from the 1930s, anticipating massed air raids and devastating attacks. When war broke out, preparations to protect civilians were inadequate, leading to chaotic responses to early raids. However, instead of breaking morale, the Blitz galvanised public opinion in support of the war. As the war raged on, people became hardened by their experiences, with air attacks becoming a normal part of daily life. The Blitz Diary tells the story through remarkable eyewitness accounts from its earliest and darkest days to its end, when V-2 rockets brought devastation without warning. This expanded edition includes new chapters and accounts from key eyewitnesses. Preservation of such first-hand accounts has become increasingly important as the Blitz fades from living memory.
