During 1939 and the start of 1940 hardly any bombs were dropped on Britain. But Hitler planned to invade Britain. In September 1940 the germans started to bomb Britain's cities instead of RAF air bases hoping that Britons would panic and surrender. This period was known asThe Blitz.soon as the aircraft were spotted in the night sky,raid sirens to warn everyone that an air raid was coming. Some families would run down to a communal brick or concrete shelter in their street. Others sheltered from the bombs at home in their cellars or underneath a table or the stairs. Families with shelters in their gardens could hide in there. These were usually damp and dark and made from corrugated iron. they were known as Anderson shelters.
