British towns and cities were subjected to intense bombing in the Blitz that raged from 1940 until 1945. People endured years of wearing gas masks, constant air-raid sirens and the bombing of their homes, factories, schools and work places. Civilians spent countless hours sheltering from attacks in air-raid shelters while others helped on the streets as air-raid wardens or fire fighter.
