An "Anderson shelter" was a corrugated iron hut built underground in people's gardens in the UK during WW2 as a defense against an air attack.
According to Wikipedia: "Anderson shelters were designed to accommodate up to six people. The main principle of protection was based on curved and straight galvanised corrugated steel panels. Six curved panels were bolted together at the top, so forming the main body of the shelter, three straight sheets on either side, and two more straight panels were fixed to each end, one containing the door-a total of fourteen panels."

It's made of 6 corrugated steel panels. The panels are bolted together. The 2 end panels are made of flat steel, and one side has a door. After everything is put together, it is buried under ground.
from whatever scraps one brought with them, could barter for, steal, or could get by joining an established gang. I trust this is andersonville Georgia circa 1864. It was barbaric and primitive.

A small drainage sump was often incorporated in the floor to collect rainwater seeping into the shelter. The shelters were 6 ft (1.8 m) high, 4 ft 6 in (1.4 m) wide, and 6 ft 6 in (2 m) long. They were buried 4 ft (1.2 m) deep in the soil and then covered with a minimum of 15 in (0.4 m) of soil above the roof. The earth banks could be planted with vegetables and flowers, that at times could be quite an appealing sight and in this way would become the subject of competitions of the best-planted shelter among householders in the neighbourhood. The internal fitting out of the shelter was left to the owner and so there were wide variations in comfort.
