During the world war 2 I was only 14 and I enjoyed doing what normal 14 year old girls liked doing, I tried not to let it get in my way and I just tried to act normal. My brothers, who are younger than me and still atended school had to evacuated to a different home. I lived in Walker near the ship yards were there was lots of air raids but not as many as london had. The thing that saved us were the air raid shelters but mainly the airforce. The worst part of the war was the part when you would get a letter telling you who had died what was exactally what happened to us, i got a letter telling me my cousin, who was in the navy, had been held a prisinor of war in a Japanese camp, we were devastated.
If you wanted a lipstick you had to stand in a que which was a mile long or wait for meat for half a day also whoever long you were in the air raid shelter at night time you still had to go to work in the morning.
I believe that Hitler should have been stopped before he got powerful and the war should not have happened. I didn't think we would win it but we did and it was great when the war ended, I was Extatic!
