During the
Second World War the British government was
constantly monitoring the success of its various policies concerning
the Home Front. The government was also
aware of the possibility that it might be necessary to introduce
legislation to deal with any emerging problems.
It is December
1941. You have been asked to write a report on Bomb
Disposal Units.
This is to be divided into two sections.
(1)
A report on what has been happening concerning Bomb
Disposal Units since
the outbreak of the war.
Things you
should consider include:
(a) Who
had responsibility for dealing with unexploded bombs?
(b) What
would happen when an unexploded bomb was discovered?
(c) What
did the Germans do to make life difficult for Bomb
Disposal Units?
(2)
A report that includes proposals about the changes that you would
like to see in government policy. These proposals will then be discussed
and voted on by the rest of the class.
Things you
should consider include:
(a) Do you
think members of the Bomb
Disposal Units
need to receive more training?
(b) Do members
of the Bomb
Disposal Units
need government guidance on how to deal with unexploded bombs?
