Stanley Baldwin said in 1932 "The Bomber Will Always Get Through" as part of a panic that swept Europe & the US from the late 1920s on about huge civilian casualties; in 1937 the British govt estimated 600,000 dead and 1.2m wounded in the first 60 days of a new conflict...fortunatley they were wrong

Hurricane II's in produciton, Slough c.1943. In 1936 the UK began building shadow factories to boost produciton numbers and take over in the event main line factories were destroyed. The scheme proved difficult initally but became a vital part of the war effort.

The SOE, aka the Baker Street Irregulars, was tasked by Churchill to set Europe ablaze in 1940. Mostly what they did was get tortured to death. N (Dutch) Section was basically run by the Abwher until the end of 1943, F (French) Section

Lack of Moral Fibre (LMF) was the RAF's term for men who had 'lost the confidence of their commanding officer to face the dangers required of them' irrespective of the trauma a man might have gone through. Fascinating and horrifying in equal parts.
