Description
Sussex at War 1939-45 by Clifford Mewett explores the county's role in World War II. From the Dunkirk evacuation to the aftermath of victory, this book examines the fortification of Sussex and its impact on civilians and soldiers alike. The Luftwaffe's air raids and the Doodlebugs' deadly threat are among the topics covered. The book also delves into the experiences of those stationed in Sussex, including the Canadian troops who launched the disastrous Dieppe raid. Additionally, it looks at the role played by local residents, voluntary organizations, and the spirit of defiance that characterized wartime Sussex. For those interested in Sussex's history during World War II or the broader British war effort, this book provides a detailed and informative account.
