62 reviewsFew in Manchester could have believed in their worst nightmares that within twenty years of the conclusion of the 'war to end all wars', they and their families would find themselves once more involved in what would become an even more destructive conflagration.
For the Veterans of the Great War this felt like a betrayal after what they endured, and their fears of now having to do it all again, and in many cases, as well as their returning to service they now did so with their sons standing beside them.
What had all the sacrifice been about?
In the Great War Manchester had been badly hit by Air Raids with many lives lost, so they knew all too well what was now to come, despite these clear fears preparations were almost non existent even by as late as mid 1939. Casualties from these raids and wartime service devastated families, in some cases more then once, while Industry was still in the process of recovering from these attacks when the Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain announced with a grave tone that Great Britain was now at war with Germany once again.Some industries never recovered from the deprivations of the Great War, like the once prosperous cotton industry, which tried but failed to be competitive with the cheaper cotton now being imported from Australia, Japan, China and India.
Building any form of long term economic recovery was all but curtailed by the Great Depression.
The city was not ready to face another war.
It was unprepared for the ferocity of the aerial attacks unleashed against it and more worryingly for the treachery and violence perpetrated by Edward Moseley's now infamous 'Black-Shirts' and other supporters.
Yet somehow despite all this, Manchester and its people found the strength to unite once again against its enemies within and without to help ensure that Germany and its supporters would never be victorious.
