An Anderson shelter is a type of air raid shelter designed for use in the UK during World War II. Its main features include a curved, corrugated steel structure that is partially buried to provide protection from bomb blasts, a reinforced entrance for safety, and a capacity to accommodate several people. The design allows for easy assembly and is meant to be installed in backyards, providing families with a safe haven during air raids. Additionally, it features ventilation openings to ensure airflow while maintaining security.
