Dame Vera Lynn couldn't believe her eyes when she visited Britain At War. You are there inside a bombed out department store while screaming shells rain all round you.
Searchlights fill up the night sky while ack-ack guns fire on the enemy aircraft overhead.
Pick your way through the smouldering rubble to the main street and see the remains of the cinema, pub and people's homes. A telegraph pole crashes to the ground as the wail of the air raid siren mingles with the noise and confusion of the rescuers, while firefighters tackle the raging blaze and carry a girl to safety. Take the lift to the London Underground air raid shelter and see where thousands spent sleepless nights. Keep up to date with the wartime news in the underground cinema or read all about it in the memorable news pages. Huddle in the Anderson shelter and hear all the terrifying noises of an air raid overhead.
