Air raid shelters were widely used in various countries during World War II, particularly in Britain, Germany, and Japan, to protect civilians from aerial bombardments. In the UK, many urban areas constructed public shelters, such as the London Underground stations and Anderson shelters in backyards. In Germany, citizens utilized bunkers and reinforced structures to shield themselves from Allied bombing raids. These shelters played a crucial role in mitigating casualties during the extensive air campaigns of the war.

During World War I, air raid shelters were not widely used or developed, as aerial bombardment was not as prevalent as in World War II. While some cities experienced bombings, particularly from zeppelins and later aircraft, the concept of dedicated air raid shelters was not fully realized until the following conflict. Instead, many people sought refuge in basements or other sturdy structures during air raids. The focus during WWI was primarily on trench warfare and ground battles rather than aerial threats.
Air raid shelters, also known as bomb shelters, are structures that provide protection from an air attack. These structures do not offer protection from ground attacks.

The ww2 air raid shelters were dug deep underground and then bricked in with strong materials to keep people safe from air raids. Some air raid shelters have been renovated and are still used today for other creative purposes.
they hid in air raid shelters
They were shelters either underground or in your house or outside in your front or back garden. They were mostly made out of corrugated metal or iron for the roofs and usually metal for the walls and there were wooden stools/ seats/ bench's etc.. . and if a air raid went off they would probably stay in for a few hours.
The two types of air raid shelters are called the Anderson shelter and the Morrison shelter
