Ordinary people tell their stories of how they coped with everyday life against a backdrop of air raid shelters, evacuation, gas masks, the home guard and even getting married wearing decontamination suits. Moving, inspiring and even funny, many of these stories have never been told before and provide a fascinating insight into Britain's 'finest hour'.These remarkable eyewitness accounts are illustrated by pristine cinema films from the wartime Movietone newsreels, which contain much rare or previously unavailable footage of life on the Home Front. Movietone newsreels were used to help teach the public vital skills, such as how to use their gas masks and to build their own air-raid shelters.
