What Britain has Done 1939-1945: A Selection of Outstanding Facts and Figures (1945) By Ministry of Information

 

The total casualties sustained by the United Kingdom up to the beginning of May, 1945, amounted to close on one million. Of this total 746,109 were suffered by the Armed Forces (228,383 killed, 59,476 missing, 274,148 wounded and 184,102 prisoners of war). This unique document was originally published in May 1945 by the Ministry of Information to inform the people of Great Britain what had been done in their name during the Second World War. Covering everything from the volume of shipping across the Atlantic and the weight of bombs dropped on Berlin, to the amount of vegetables produced on British allotments and the number of parcels handled daily by the Post Office during the Blitz, this astonishing inventory of unvarnished details presents a panoramic portrait of a country engaged in total war.
