Living in the Shadow of World War II - Season 1 - Eps 1: Daily Bread
The most fundamental need of any society is a reliable food supply. During WW2, every combatant nation introduced some form of rationing - but that was only the start of the business of keeping the population fed. From substitute ingredients and ersatz recipes to digging-up golf courses and football pitches to increase agricultural output – we see the memories of those who queued, scrounged and dug for victory.

Synopsis
How life went on as war raged around. War has never been limited to the battlefield. It destroys cities and kills loved ones; it casts an almost impenetrable shadow over everything it touches … but life somehow finds a way to shine, even in the toughest of times. Using archive materials and expert interviews across three eye-opening episodes, Living in the Shadow of WW2 explores the ups and downs of everyday life - with a focus on Great Britain - while the greatest war in history raged on.
