Second World War historians, have any of you come across stories about people complaining about the black out during the Blitz? People who didn't want to use black out curtains or switch off their lights because it infringed their rights? Just wondering.
People who demanded they had a right to read and they needed to keep the lights on, even though their neighbours had switched their off?
I wonder how many people had stand up rows with air raid wardens about their right to have parties with the lights on in the middle of an air raid?
I wonder how many of those people who kept their lights on and refused to use black out curtains also argued that the air raids were just a government plot to control them, and in fact there actually was no war and it was all one big conspiracy.
