Living in the Shadow of World War II - Season 1 - Eps 2: Turn That Light Out
Total war extends the battlefields – in the Second World War, for the first time, civilian casualties far outnumbered those of military personnel. And a significant proportion of those casualties were victims of the bombing campaigns waged by both sides. What was the effect of living through “the Blitz”, what precautions were taken, what forms of shelter were constructed? We hear and see stories of the evacuation of children and the organization of home defense.

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.
