I think we (on this side of the pond) understood pretty well that it was total war, what with being up to our necks in it, ourselves.

My grandmothers - one worked in a hospital, and the other spent the war dragging charred airmen from their planes at RAF Hucknall (learner pilots, when they got it wrong, tended to get it very wrong).
