Why did people blackout their windows?

It was a requirement of the government that people and businesses blackout their windows and to use few lights so the Nazi Luftwaffe could not see places in London and elsewhere very clearly. That did work but then Hitler had the V2 rockets developed. They did not need light to land anywhere in the UK. The rockets did the largest amount of damage and terrorizing. After the Battle of Britain ended the Luftwaffe pilots discontinued their night bombing raids but the black out rule remained in place.


Did Dublin help the Germans bomb Liverpool by not having a blackout?

There is no evidence to suggest that Dublin intentionally helped the Germans bomb Liverpool by not implementing a blackout. The decision to implement blackout measures during World War II was primarily made by individual cities or countries based on their own strategic considerations. Dublin may have had its own reasons for not implementing a blackout, but it is not an indication of intentional cooperation with the Germans.
