Some of the most charming very short true stories out of WW2, and an interesting contrast. May 13, 2014 5:21 pm bowser

http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ww2peopleswar/categories/c54690/index.shtml

These are very short stories about British people, mostly kids, in bomb shelters in WWII.  An absolutely fascinating exercise is to contrast their behavior with that planned by US survivalists.

I found the stories compelling, and finished them all.  They take about 2 minutes each to read.
