Description

Sussex at War Through Time by Henry Buckton The county of Sussex played a significant role in the Second World War, with its coastline and towns becoming key targets for the German Luftwaffe. Chichester served as the nerve centre for the county's civil defence organisation, while Tangmere airfield was a crucial location during the Battle of Britain. The threat of invasion from northern France in 1940 brought Sussex firmly into the heart of Britain's war effort. The beaches along its coastline were identified as potential invasion hotspots, drawing the county into the centre of the conflict. This book explores both East and West Sussex, with a particular focus on the coastline that was most affected by the war. Through photographs and historical accounts, this book examines the areas of Sussex that played a pivotal role in the Second World War, shedding light on a period of significant national importance.
