The whole spirit of Britain is in this record of the accomplishments of the thousands of individuals manning her front line so valiantly. Here is the official record of the brave exploits of the British people at home, told in documentary, matter-of-fact style. The various types of blitz which the Germans have attempted are described : first, the attempt to wipe out London, preparatory to invasion ; second, to cause confusion and suffering, and to weaken morale ; next, to destroy industrial and shipping centers one by one ; and finally, nuisance raids, which the English have learned to handle with astonishing effectiveness. The functions and orgainization of the different defence groups are described : how they handle disrupted communications, feed and house the homeless, guard against polluted water and disease ; how itself as well as in relation to other activities. The success of the program is written in the pages of history. The 'little people' of Britain's towns and cities took the worst Hitler had to give, and wouldn't say die. Morale was kept high in the darkest hours by efficiently supplied help, food, clothing, rebuilding, sympathy.
