Some historic wars have had little effect on the civilan population of the countries involved because of location, duration or the numbers involved. For almost everyone in WW2 in any country involved, and for a fair number of neutrals, this was not the case. The Home Front was a concept particularly used in Propaganda material to convince the British population to make changes, or accept them, in order to facilitate Britain's survival and victory in the war. Some Home Front issues included: Rationing, and need for increased food production. Recycling (salvage) drives and the elimination of wasteful practices. Changes to employment, with many women needed to both increase factory production and replace men going into the armed forces. Coping with blackout, air raid precautions and bomb damage and casualties. I agree with the previous answer in most respects except the author has confused 'concept' with 'cachphrase' it was a simply a term coined by the government to refer to people making a difference to the war in Britian, winning on the 'home' front.
