German Home Front

Targeted Berliners

• Liberty Magazine, 1944 •


“All day long people speculate on which air-raid shelter to pick that night. There are primitive ones and dangerous ones, cold ones and warm ones, lighted ones and unlighted. And there are those with large entrances and those small entrances. That’s a consideration, for one may get hurt or even killed in the panic… War weariness is universal. Every one inside Germany is constantly and hopelessly dead tired from long working hours and horrible nights spent in the air-raid shelters. There is hardly an item of food that isn’t scarce or fantastically priced. It doesn’t take long under such conditions, to realize that the Nazi’s vaunted efficiency works only when they can use terror or bribery.”
