During World War II, many cities implemented blackout measures to prevent enemy aircraft from spotting urban areas at night. Residents covered windows with heavy curtains, blackout paint, or sheets of dark paper to eliminate any light escaping from buildings. Additionally, outdoor lights were turned off or shaded, and vehicles were required to use dimmed headlights. These measures aimed to enhance civilian safety and reduce the effectiveness of aerial bombings.

They were done routinely any time there was an air raid to help hide the targets.
