This video from the Royal Armouries explores the British Home Guard, formed in 1940 during the real threat of German invasion. Drawing inspiration from their artillery collection at Fort Nelson and its historical role in anti-aircraft defense, the video introduces an enthusiastic recruit to the Local Defence Volunteers (LDV). The description highlights available Home Guard training manual eBooks for purchase, recreated from original museum archives, covering topics like 'House to House Fighting,' 'The Art of Prowling,' and 'Defence of Houses.'
