SEALION, the German invasion plan, provoked the construction of pillboxes, coastal defences, heavy-gun emplacements and anti-aircraft batteries, as well as the formation of the Home Guard and covert groups. Later, new dangers replaced SEALION: radar detection systems were expanded during the Blitz years, as were intelligence-gathering systems and listening posts. From 1944, Britain was again faced with a deadly threat, Hitler's 'Vengeance weapons'. This title provides a concise assessment of Britain's defensive systems, and presents a vivid picture of war on the home front.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bernard Lowry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1841767670\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781841767673\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/25\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.62h x 7.30w x 0.20d","brand":"Bernard Lowry","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44302345470207,"sku":"9781841767673","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_600dcaea-c949-430f-b8d0-7fa3d7c3c143.jpg?v=1695160981","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/british-home-defences-1940-45-bernard-lowry-9781841767673","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
