Excellent- More about Day War Broke Out: Untold true stories of how British families faced the Second World War together
On September 3, 1939, Neville Chamberlain declared war on Germany, beginning World War II.

Eighty years later, a look back at the lives of British people in September 1939 reveals a different world from the one we know today. The Day the War Broke Out provides a fresh insight into the hearts and minds of a nation on the brink of war, through exclusive personal interviews, untold stories, wartime diaries, and newspaper reports.

On September 3, 1939, a new global conflict unfolded, following Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's declaration that Britain was at war with Germany. By the time World War II concluded in 1945, nearly half a million individuals from Britain and its empire had perished, profoundly shaping the world's trajectory.
Eighty years later, a reflection on the lives of British citizens in September 1939 unveils a vastly different world from our present reality. A country previously unfamiliar with universal healthcare faced unprecedented challenges: stringent food and petrol rationing, compulsory military service for both genders, and ongoing personal tragedies amidst the devastation of Britain's bombed-out cities and ports.
What was it truly like to inhabit Britain in September 1939? "The Day the War Broke Out" offers a unique perspective into the hearts and minds of a nation on that fateful day. Through exclusive personal interviews, untold stories, wartime diaries, and newspaper reports, it delves into the deepest fears and aspirations of a society on the precipice of war.
These personal, intimate glimpses from eighty years ago capture the tumultuous aftermath of a world seemingly turned upside down, and how a nation courageously confronted this new reality with resilience, humor, and steadfast determination.
