The blackout was a measure taken by the British government which instructed mainly urban British civilians to block out all light coming from their homes using thick and sufficiently wide curtains.
The aim was to minimise the light emitted from British cities targeted by German bombers who would use the light coming from the ground below to guide them to the places they were to place their bombs.
Further measures included the dimming of car headlights and generally lights of any kind, though unfortunately it all caused more harm than good. Consequently there was a sharp increase in road accidents due to the poor visibility on busy roads, this included more civilians colliding with cars.
The blackout made little difference to the bombers overhead for all the target cities, especially London at the time, gave off a kind of glow at night no matter to what extent the authorities went to the prevent this.
