{"product_id":"british-home-defences-1940-45-9781841767673","title":"British Home Defences 1940-45","description":"In the summer of 1940, Britain asked itself not 'will Hitler invade?' but 'when?' SEALION, the German invasion plan, provoked the construction of pillboxes, coastal defences, heavy-gun emplacements and anti-aircraft batteries, as well as the formation of the Home Guard and covert groups. Later, new dangers replaced SEALION: radar detection systems were expanded during the Blitz years, as were intelligence-gathering systems and listening posts. From 1944, Britain was again faced with a deadly threat, Hitler's 'Vengeance weapons'. This title provides a concise assessment of Britain's defensive systems, and presents a vivid picture of war on the home front.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/25\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781841767673\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.62h x 7.30w x 0.20d","brand":"Bernard Lowry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43505906811061,"sku":"9781841767673","price":17.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_9990b697-9e61-419d-a09e-d7e856cbebe1.jpg?v=1705426529","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/british-home-defences-1940-45-9781841767673","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
