Air raid shelters are structures for the protection of non-combatants as well as combatants against enemy attacks from the air. They are similar to bunkers in many regards although they are not designed to defend against ground attack but many have been used as defensive structures in such situations. Before WWII the U.K. had difficulty choosing the location of air raid shelters. During WWII many types of structures were used as air raid shelters such as cellars German Hochbunkers basements and underpasses. The U.K. began building street communal shelters as air raid shelters in 1940. Anderson shelters designed in 1938 and built to hold up to six people were also in common use in the U.K. Indoor shelters known as Morrison shelters were also in use. Prior to World War II in May 1924 an Air Raid Precautions Committee was set up in the United Kingdom. For years little progress was made with shelters because of the apparently irreconcilable conflict between the need to send the public underground for shelter and the need to keep them above ground for protection against gas attacks. In February 1936 the Home Secretary appointed a technical Committee on Structural Precautions against Air Attack. By November 1937 there had only been slow progress because of a serious lack of data on which to base any design recommendations and the Committee proposed that the Home Office should have its own department for research into structural precautions rather than relying on research work done by the Bombing Test Committee to support the development of bomb design and strategy. This proposal was eventually implemented in January 1939. They also decided to issue free to poorer households the Anderson shelter and to provide steel props to create shelters in suitable basements. The Anderson shelter was designed in 1938 by William Paterson and Oscar Carl Karl Kerrison in response to a request from the Home Office. It was named after Sir John Anderson then Lord Privy Seal with special responsibility for preparing air-raid precautions immediately prior to the outbreak of World War II and it was he who then initiated the development of the shelter. After evaluation by David Anderson Bertram Lawrence Hurst and Sir Henry Jupp of the Institution of Civil Engineers the design was released for production. Anderson shelters were designed to accommodate up to six people. The main principle of protection was based on curved and straight galvanized corrugated steel panels. Six curved panels were bolted together at the top so forming the main body of the shelter three straight sheets on either side and two more straight panels were fixed to each end one containing the door—a total of fourteen panels. A small drainage sump was often incorporated in the floor to collect rainwater seeping into the shelter. The shelters were 6 feet high 4.5 feet wide and 6.5 feet long. They were either buried 4 ft deep in the soil and then covered with a minimum of 15 inches of soil above the roof or in some cases installed inside people's houses and covered with sandbags. When they were buried outside the earth banks could be planted with vegetables and flowers that at times could be quite an appealing sight and in this way would become the subject of competitions of the best-planted shelter among householders in the neighborhood. The internal fitting out of the shelter was left to the owner and so there were wide variations in comfort. Anderson shelters were issued free to all householders who earned less than £5 a week equivalent to £320 in 2020 when adjusted for inflation. Those with a higher income were charged £7 £440 in 2020 for their shelter. One and a half million shelters of this type were distributed between February 1939 and the outbreak of war. During the war a further 2.1 million were erected. Large numbers were manufactured at John Summers & Sons ironworks at Shotton on Deeside with production peaking at 50000 units per week. The Anderson shelters performed well under blast and ground shock because they had good connectivity and ductility which meant that they could absorb a great deal of energy through plastic deformation without falling apart. Because of the large number made and their robustness many Anderson shelters still survive. Many were dug up after the war and converted into storage sheds for use in gardens and allotments.

Substantial tabular information. This work is Nineteenth in The Battery Press Reference Series. This is the British General Staff's intelligence manual for the German Army at the beginning of World War I. Originally printed in 1912 and amended to August 1914 this reference volume has chapters on the conditions of service organization and numbers available in peace and war administration of the Army and General Staff infantry cavalry artillery technical troops supply and medical services tactics signalling and colonial troops. Also included are appendices giving military pay military terms and topographical signs and abbreviations. This handbook was intended for the use of officers who desired to obtain a comprehensive view of the German Army during peace-time or who may wish to follow its operations during manoeuvres or other training. The Fourth Edition of this handbook was completed after the passing of laws respecting the peace strength of the German Army up to 1915. The main effect of these changes in the law was to perfect rather than to increase the number of the larger units available on mobilization for the first line. Two new Army-Corps were created making 25 in all. Imperial War Museum (1-901623475)jointly with The Battery Press, Inc hardcover
194685740London: His Majesty's Stationery Office 1946. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Good. The format is approximately 6 inches by 9.75 inches. vi 21 3 pages plus covers. Illustrations unpaginated--12 pages two images per page. Tabular data. Diagram. Cover is worn and soiled with some damp staining at page bottoms and the back. In the course of the war the Ministry of Home Security had evolved a scientific method for the measurement of the effect of air attack in the various forms and the Home Office regarded it as desirable to invite the United States Authorities to agree that a British team of experts trained in that method should co-operate with the United States Strategic Bombing Survey to conduct an investigation into the effects of the bombing of the two Japanese cities. The United States authorities provided every possible facility for the investigation and the detailed arrangements were made by the United States Strategic Bombing Survey. In addition to factual examinations at Hiroshima and Nagasaki the United States Authorities placed at the disposal of the British experts the records and observations which their more prolonged and detailed study had produced. In particular the part of this report which deals with the effects of atomic bombs on the human structure is based on material supplied by the Medical Section of the Joint Commission for the Investigation of the Effects of the Atomic Bomb. This report by the British experts is now published in this country simultaneously with the publication in America of the corresponding report of the United States Strategic Bombing Survey. His Majesty's Government considers that a full understanding of the consequences of the new form of attack may assist the United Nations Organisation in its task of securing the control of atomic energy for the common good and in abolishing the use of weapons of mass destruction. From the Introduction: 1. On August 6th 1945 shortly after 8 a.m. an American Super-Fortress flying at 30000 feet dropped a single atomic bomb over the Japanese mercantile city of Hiroshima. The bomb exploded over the city centre. Three days later on August 9th just after 11 a.m. a Super-Fortress flying at the same height which had found its primary target cloud-obscured dropped a second atomic bomb over the industrial city of Nagasaki. This bomb exploded over the city's factory area. In Hiroshima more than four square miles of city were destroyed and 80000 people were killed. In the smaller city of Nagasaki about one and a half square miles were destroyed and nearly 40000 people were killed. The causes of destruction and of death differed in many points from those which had acted in the conventional raids of the past. It was clear that bombing had changed its character and its scale beyond recognition. 2. The British Mission which spent the month of November 1945 in Hiroshima and Nagasaki had been concerned in the past with the appreciation of air raid damage in Great Britain and subsequently on the Continent of Europe. While some of its members had for other reasons made a wartime study of Japanese conditions it was not as a whole expert in Japanese affairs. Nor was it instructed to obtain a detailed picture of those effects of the bomb which were peculiar to Japan. The report which follows tells what was seen and what could be learnt three months after the bombing in Hiroshima and in Nagasaki. But its intention is as it was the object of the Mission to point to general conclusions on the effects to be expected from similar atomic bombs should they fall outside Japan and in particular in Great Britain. The reader should picture the destruction here set down as it would strike a city which he knows well in its people its houses its public buildings its factories and its public services.
