WW2 Air Raid Shelter Ambience | London Blitz Rain & Distant Explosions

- 7th September, Black Saturday. The first day of the London Blitz. German Bombers Attack the city of London, leaving hundreds dead and thousands injured. The Air Raids continue for 57 consecutive nights and become a regular occurrence with the largest bombings on may 10/11 1941. Although London was bombed more heavily than anywhere else in britain, the blitz was an attack on the whole country. Very few areas were left untouched by air raids. In relatively small compact cities, the impact of a severe air raid could be devastating.
Anderson shelters were issued free to all householders who earned less than £250 a year, and those with higher incomes were charged £7 (The equivalent figures would be around £17,000 and £470 today.
Made from six curved sheets bolted together at the top, with steel plates at either end, and measuring 1.95m by 1.35m, the shelter could accommodate four adults and two children. The shelters were half buried in the ground with earth heaped on top. It wasn’t too difficult for individual householders to build the shelters themselves, or maybe neighbours would help each other.
The shelters were very strong, especially against a compressive force such as from a nearby bomb because of their corrugation. Anderson shelters were effective only if half buried in the ground and covered in a thick layer of earth. They were therefore inherently cold, dark and damp. In low-lying areas the shelters tended to flood, and sleeping was difficult as the shelters did not keep out the sound of the bombings. Families had to build their own bunk beds, or buy them ready made. If there was a toilet at all, it took the form of a bucket in the corner.
Although some families slept in them every night, most people were reluctant to use them except after the air raid sirens had sounded - and often not even then.

And just think, if I designed a house it would have a basement that goes 73 stories down. Hitting someone that deep down with a 600 pound bunker buster would be difficult, but not impossible.
73 stories down wow 😅
Maybe make it 74 stories down, then
@@OwlobserverThat's cheating.
My grandparents were both in ww2 in the army. I can’t imagine how they both went through that. My grandfather was a P.OW scary
Yep, must of been crazy not knowing were these german bombs were going to land every night. Were lucky we live in relative safety now! Thanks for watching :)
This is terrifying. You've done an amazing job creating this realistic event.
Hey Rainluna thank you soo much for the feedback I appreciate it a lot 😀 more on the way
@@sound_illusion Awesome ❤
Your ww1, ww2 and medieval videos help me focus when studying, keep doing what you're doing!
Hey thanks a lot for the feedback I’m glad it helps you , I will be uploading lots more soon
Both the visuals and the sound are so well done! Thank you for this!
Thank you for watching
Love this ! Radio just needs to be a tiny bit louder 📻 a few Glenn miller tunes would be epic too 🤩🇬🇧
Hey thank you for the feedback 😀
Finally, some good ambience to listen to while playing videos that isn't several hours long. I'll take one hour long on a video like this but that's it.
Thank you for the feedback and for watching 🙏🏽
My grandparents hid like this when Japanese attacked their cities. They said even enemies of them turned to be friends while staying inside together.
Wow thanks for the insight 😀🙏🏽
This is an actual masterpiece 💪🏻
Thanks a lot bro glad you like it
This is my go to sound because of the rain and metal
Thank you I’m, Glad it works for you
Lovely 👍
Thank you 🙏🏽
I love these sounds so much I use them to go to sleep believe it or not
Thanks a lot bro I appreciate it
@@sound_illusion I love the ww2 ones with the rain.
Thank you I’ll have more soon
It's kinda calmingly according to the fact that in the shelter it's safe but out there the mankind has unleashed hell on earth. Btw do you have a spotify channel?
Thanks for watching, and no not on Spotify
I spent enough time paying a lot of attention to the radio. Was that a mix of Britain’s Edward Murrow followed by a good ole fireside chat from FDR?
Hey thanks for watching 😀 I think it’s a mashup of random wartime radio during ww2
I’m trying to sleep to this and I keep flinching whenever there’s an explosion or low flying aircraft
😅 sorry
@@sound_illusionit’s okay
Hey sound illusion I just pulled this up and i loved it... This gives me so many story ideas 💡 and it makes me savor my peppermint mocha. What's the vibe in london today? Anything eventful happen today?
Hey thank you very much I appreciate it 😀. Enjoy the mocha I’m glad it gives you inspiration to write . London is the same busy busy busy fast moving city. How’s it over the water ?
@@sound_illusion I saw this video game 🕹️🎮 online that also drew inspiration... For my prophet story she has to fight the deal makers newest ally... A shadow demon. Look at zombie army 4 for what she's up against. Trust me it's a doozy.
Oh nice shadow demon looks creepy 😳
@@sound_illusion she has to face this shadow demon and the enslaved undead army he unleashed upon the Bear🐻🐨🧸 tribe. The deal maker has summoned this thing personally from the past. A former nazi commander who was pulled from his exact moment of death and given power from the devil himself.
Can you do a video like this with a radio playing with contemporary music and the news?
Hey Tom thanks for the suggestion, the only thing with music is it gets a bit tricky with copyright so I tend to avoid using music unless It’s my own.
The V2 missile at 19:00💀
😅
Oof why is this satisfying to my ears😂😂😂
Thank you glad your enjoying it 😀
@@sound_illusion I just love it😂😂😂
@TheBritishBuddiesUK 😄
Is there anywhere to find just the radio broadcast that’s going on in the background? I’ve been listening to it and I’m very interested in hearing what they’re talking about but it’s just slightly too quiet.
Hey thanks for the comment, the radio broadcast is a random mix of British and German radio which I found in the public domain archives which you’ll have to look up
Try this channel they have some good ww2 radio broadcasts youtube.com/@oldisbest470?si=nVGHs03MOcDfp9zT
@@sound_illusionthank you so much, amazing work by the way I like your videos
Why would they be sitting on what looks like a wire mattress, instead of the actual mattress. Doesn't look very comfortable 😆
🤷🏽♂️ let’s just pretend there’s a mattress there 😅
This feels amazingly real! I could not imagine if we would ever face a world war 3 and this is how it might feel like!? Blows my mind! Id be shitting in my pants😂
Thank you , Yh can’t imagine facing ww3 would be crazy.
