West Sussex Unwrapped: West Sussex on the Home Front, 1939-1945 (online talk)
16th June, 19:00 - 20:00
To mark the 80th anniversary of VE and VJ day, this episode of West Sussex Unwrapped explores the experiences of ordinary West Sussex residents on the Home Front in the Second World War. Photographs and documents from West Sussex Record Office will help to bring to life themes such as evacuation, rationing, air raids and the ever-present threat of invasion by sea whilst films from Screen Archive South East will show Home Guard training and activities, including the wrong and the right way of dealing with Nazi spies. We will end the event with a compilation of films depicting the war-time experience and the end-of-war celebrations across the south-east.
