For those living in Britain between 1939 and 1945, the war was an ever-present reality; reminders were to be found everywhere. Huge numbers of objects relating to the war effort at home-- some functional, like gas masks, air-raid precautions (ARP) uniforms and ration books, and others less so, like Hitler chamber pots and toys and games-- were manufactured and became commonplace in homes up and down the land. Today many of these items have become highly collectible. The authors have put together a huge selection of objects, each one superbly illustrated and described in detail.
