Workers Renovating A Shop In England Discover A Secret From The World War 2 Era

Dark Times

Two days before the war Britain went completely dark. In the night the whole city looked like a big black spot when seen from the above. Streetlamps remained switched off, car headlights were covered, and people hung special curtains on the windows, with brown paper covering the edges blocking the light to go out. But why were they doing this? The main purpose was to confuse the German bombers. Sadly, this darkness also led to a great hike in the road deaths. It is believed that around a thousand people died because of that.
