Occasionally one was caught in an air raid, not usually bombing but American aircraft would come over to ‘annoy’ the Germans or test their defences and there would be a lot of noise — searchlights in the sky, anti aircraft guns going off and then the danger of falling shrapnel. It was common practice if such a raid should occur to go to one’s front door and leave it ajar (without a light showing of course) so that anyone passing could come in for shelter.
