Devon At War

Devon at War 1939 – 45 – Your Towns & Cities in World War 2 by Derek Tait

When war was declared on 1 September 1939, the people of Devon pulled together in a way that they hadn’t done since the Great War of 1914-18. This book covers the people of Devon’s contribution to the war effort, from the commencement of the conflict in September 1939, to its end in September 1945. It features many forgotten news stories of the day and looks at the change to civilians’ every day lives, entertainment, spies and the internment of aliens living within the area.
