My friend Len James has a new ebook out contianing contemporary newspaper reports and eyewitness
accounts of what it was like to live through the Blackout during World
War II
On the day war broke out the Blackout was imposed. It was
illegal to show a light outside at night for any reason at all. Cars
drove without headlights, windows were blacked out, torches were banned
and streetlights switched off. Britain at night became a country plunged
into inky blackness.
How did people find their way, what did you do
when you wanted to leave a lit room, how did you get to work or school -
or back again? These and other questions are addressed here. An
invaluable book explaining one of the most annoying and irritating
aspects of World War II.
The “Eyewitness World War II” series is a
growing collection of ebooks that contain original eyewitness accounts
and contemporary newspaper reports of the action in question. You can

II” or by visiting the military page of our website.
