Most of the
preparations
for
war
took
place
in
1938
and
1939
when it became
clear
that
Hitler
would
continue
with his
aggressive
foreign
policy.
The
government
ensured
that the
British
public
was
informed
about
rationing
,
blackouts
,
gasmasks
and
evacuation
procedures.
Despite
Britain
declaring
war
on
Germany
on
3
September
1939
, no
actual
military
action
was
seen
until the
late
spring
of
1940
