the blitz
The Blitz was when Adolf Hitler, the Nazi leader sent his air- force to bomb the cities of Britain and some other countries, but luckily they were warned about attacks by an air raid siren.The Blitz was a great sadness for a lot of families. Mostly all the houses were destroyed and a lot of lives had been lost, many famous buildings had been demolished.
ways of defence
During the war a lot of people die so the had to find a new way of defending. Some people use the underground as a way of protection but some people used the new invention, the Anderson and Morrison shelter. Even though it wasn't 100% guaranteed of staying alive people stilled used it. Also the shelters were dark, uncomfortable and have rain coming in.
This picture on the right side is a picture of the inside of a Anderson shelter and you will not like to sleep in it.

Morrison shelters were by John Baker and was named after the Minister of Home security ,Herbert Morrison.They are much more uncomfortable than Anderson shelters, they are much more cramped also Morrison shelters was mostly used in houses.
