World War II
Britain went to war with Germany when Hitler invaded
Poland in September 1939. Adolf Hitler was the German
leader and Winston Churchill was the British prime
minister.
During the war, German fighter planes bombed British
towns and cities to destroy war machinery being built
there. This was called an air raid. When there was an air
raid, people tried to keep safe in air-raid shelters away
from the bombing. Many children (evacuees) were sent
away (evacuated) to the countryside where they would
be safe.
