This book embarks on a vital exploration of a relatively neglected aspect of the Second World War-the impact of air raid precautions in Britain and Germany. Despite being one of the most intrusive and widespread civil defence measures brought about by the advent of aerial bombing, the blackout has received surprisingly little scholarly attention since the war's conclusion.

This book embarks on a vital exploration of a relatively neglected aspect of the Second World War-the impact of air raid precautions in Britain and Germany. Despite being one of the most intrusive and widespread civil defence measures brought about by the advent of aerial bombing, the blackout has received surprisingly little scholarly attention since the war's conclusion. Within the broader context of the home front and the bombing war, the blackout has often been marginalized or overlooked entirely.This study seeks to rectify this gap in historical research by shedding light on the blackout's extensive influence on wartime society. By situating the blackout within the broader narrative of aviation's development and examining its profound social and economic consequences, this thesis contributes to a deeper understanding of both the blackout itself and the social history of the British and German home fronts during World War II. Furthermore, it delves into the ways in which technology reshaped the relationship between the state and its citizens during this tumultuous period and addresses the shortage of comparative research between Britain and Germany during the war.
