Keeping Track of German Raiders: A Wartime Method Explanation by G.H. Davis (1940) This evocative image, titled "Keeping track of German raiders during the Second World War: the method pictorially explained," offers a fascinating glimpse into the wartime communication and alert system used to monitor and respond to German air raids in the early years of the Second World War. The photograph, taken by renowned illustrator G.H. Davis for Illustrated London News (ILN), captures the intricate process of tracking and alerting civilians of imminent danger. The scene is set in a bustling operations room, where a team of dedicated personnel diligently monitors the skies, their eyes glued to the maps and radar screens. The caption explains the sequence of events from the moment an approaching enemy aircraft is detected. The team first identifies the raiders' location using a combination of visual sightings, radio intercepts, and radar data. They then communicate this information to the relevant authorities, who sound the alert in threatened areas. The image shows various pieces of equipment used in this process, including communication devices, sirens, and transport systems. The team members are shown pressing buttons, studying maps, and making urgent phone calls, all while maintaining a watchful eye on the skies. The importance of effective communication and quick response times during air raids cannot be overstated. This photograph provides a unique insight into the methods used by the British during the Second World War to keep their population safe from the threat of German air attacks. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the bravery and determination of those who worked tirelessly to protect their communities during this tumultuous period in history.
