Description
Doodlebugs, Gas Masks and Gum: Voices from the Second World War in Children's Lives. During six years of conflict, children experienced a unique blend of excitement and normality. Anderson Shelters were built in back gardens, concrete blocks and barbed-wire appeared on beaches, and soldiers and tanks patrolled the streets. The Blitz brought spectacular dogfights, searchlights illuminated the night sky, and American servicemen arrived with supplies of chewing gum. This book explores how children coped with these extraordinary circumstances, collecting and playing amidst the chaos. From Dunkirk to D-Day, through the Battle of Britain and the eventual Victory, their stories offer a fascinating glimpse into life during World War II. With its engaging narrative, this book sheds light on an often-overlooked aspect of the war: children's experiences.
