Air raid shelters were widely used in various countries during World War II, particularly in Britain, Germany, and Japan, to protect civilians from aerial bombardments. In the UK, many urban areas constructed public shelters, such as the London Underground stations and Anderson shelters in backyards. In Germany, citizens utilized bunkers and reinforced structures to shield themselves from Allied bombing raids. These shelters played a crucial role in mitigating casualties during the extensive air campaigns of the war.

Air raid shelters, such as the Anderson shelter and the Morrison shelter, were commonly used in World War 2 to protect civilians from air raids and bombings. These shelters were designed to provide a safe place for people to take cover during enemy attacks.
During World War I, air raid shelters were not widely used or developed, as aerial bombardment was not as prevalent as in World War II. While some cities experienced bombings, particularly from zeppelins and later aircraft, the concept of dedicated air raid shelters was not fully realized until the following conflict. Instead, many people sought refuge in basements or other sturdy structures during air raids. The focus during WWI was primarily on trench warfare and ground battles rather than aerial threats.
