Abstract
Abstract The British home front in World War II continues to be a source of both fascination and nostalgia even for those who were born long after the war had ended. It was a time when the British pulled together to defeat the Nazi enemy in a war that until the middle of 1944 had produced more deaths among civilians in Britain than among those who were in the fighting services. After the fall of the European allies in the spring of 1940, when Great Britain was militarily isolated in Western Europe, the country feared Nazi invasion for more than a year. But these facts and dates do not capture what it was about the war on the home front that has been such a compelling source of interest for historians, ageing survivors and their families, and others who had little or no direct association with the people who participated in it.
