During the Second World War, London and it's citizens were, at times, under daily and nightly attack from the Luftwaffe. For the most part Londoners calmly carried on with their daily lives despite the threat of their homes being destroyed and the real possibility of being killed, injured, or trapped under the rubble of one's own home or workplace.
