Air
raid 'alert' (39 secs.)
As soon as people heard this siren they'd have had to run to the
nearest shelter - it meant that German planes were approaching,
and may drop bombs. People would run to the Anderson shelter in
their garden, or go down to the cellar under the house. If they
were shopping, they might have hurried to the shelter in one of
the bigger department stores, or an underground station. |

Air
raid 'all clear' (44 secs.)
When the enemy planes had left, this siren was sounded to tell people
it was safe. Imagine coming out of your shelter when the all clear
sounded and not knowing what you might find. Buildings might have
collapsed or be on fire. Sometimes the streets around had completely
disappeared. |
