Second World War historians, have any of you come across stories about people complaining about the black out during the Blitz? People who didn& #39;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.
