The Warning (1939) - extract 

I can imagine how scary this would be bless

kid crying crashed in the window door brought me here.

A salute to my great grandfather Albert C Sargent. You fought for our freedom. R.I.P. Albert C Sargent

The sirens creeped me out!!!

My grandmother whom is currently 88 and born in 1931, was 9/10 years old when bombs hit her hometown of Dewsbury on 12 December 1940 and the surrounding areas. The anti-aircraft guns were positioned at the top of Caulms Wood (the local woodland area) there was a communal shelter about one or two streets away from her in Batley, one of her older friends at the time died in the blast, she's told me the most horrific part of the bombing was the screeching sound as the bomb shot downwards i remember when she told me she said it was 'hellish' which is probably the most accurate and appropriate description, Her father fought in the first world war too, driving supplies onto the front line via horse. I cant imagine what this experience would have done to him, all the PTSD and such, a truly truly unimaginably terrifying time.

No but imagine just walking home from school and hearing air-raid sirens go off,light go out,curtains closed,people rushing for shelter and just panic that would scar a person for life

If I were to time travel, I'd do it in this time in England...

I don’t know my great great grandfather but he fought in a tank killing a German general and died from a grenade so if u are reading this bless the solders who fought for freedom , our happiness and our lives .

My Mum was born 30 September 1939, 27 days after WWII was declared. As a toddler, she tells me that she can still remember being led by her Mother (my Granny) by the hand with her elder brothers and sister to a nearby farmer's field to lay in the ditches of the field night after night until the 'all clear' sounded. In the pitch dark, cold night air, any sound would have been frightening for a toddler, much less the sound of bombs exploding. A different age....❤❤❤❤

my uncle said everybody farted in air raid shelters

Even the dog knew what to do that's cute

but the siren at 0:08 is a French siren and a British siren is heard.

it must've been the scariest thing to have heard in that time

My great grandad, who is now 94, fought in this war. He was only 12 years old. I can’t imagine how he must’ve felt at this very moment

Narrated by C-3PO

Why do I keep Hearing the same type of voice in the old movies?

0:08 That Siren Is A Sirene Civile Air Raid Siren

my great Granda was in ww1 ships and survived and he didn’t take place in ww2 but also survived that! I’m still so proud of him.

The fact they where playing nice music when. A bomb was gonna get dropped out of the air

My Nanna said that when she was little and the air raid siren would sound, her mum would gather the kids together and hide under their shelter which was a Morrison shelter (a kitchen table with mesh around the sides). Her mum would be crying and shaking and I can only imagine how terrifying it must have been for people who had never experienced anything like that before. They would rarely have even heard planes.

This is really shows what the fear is like and the music in the end is amazing showing them running

This has to be the scariest sound in the world. I'm getting actual shivers listening to it

rip to the soldiers who died serving their country

Maybe my mother was in this war but she was the one who took down a plane before getting shot... Mad respect mom.

I remember my nan told me she and her four sisters ran to a shelter, one of her sisters slipped and broke her knee on the cobbles. She had to be carried into the shelter by two guards, one of which was her future husband!

My grandmother who passed in 2020 was a young girl when Clydebank was hit by the bombs. I remember asking her about it when we were doing a project on world war 2 in the school and her insight even though her memory wasn’t all there was fascinating. I can’t imagine how scary it must’ve been for her. I only wish I had asked her more about it at the time!

The streets looked a lot cleaner then...!

My mum and her sister were evacuated to the West Country at the beginning of the war. Then their mum went and bought them back to London! Mum said the most frightening thing were the doodlebugs/buzz bombs. If they flew over with the engine buzzing you were ok. If not, it was a lottery of death and destruction. How can we even imagine how terrifying it must have been.

They play this noise at my local barracks every Friday at 12pm even now, it’s such a distinct reminder of the war. It also has a side effect of freaking people out when they visit...

My Great Grandfather fought & served with the Cdn. Military in WW2, he was a young scottish immigrant and the fight was back home so of course he signed up and went to fight. He was deployed all throughout Europe but the biggest battle he ever took part in was the Invasion of Normandy on June 6. He stormed Juno Beach with the 3rd Infantry Division, marched thru holland & belgium i believe until he got to Nazi Germany. He will always be my hero for the rest of my life.

Those are not British siren sounds. And the siren shown is French. The sound is like a high pitched thunderbolt, maybe chopper lvl 5

Imagine you paused the video and the sound is still going on.........

My grandfather became a soldier during the war in Birmingham before he became a police chief in the 50s until retirement aged 50 in 1982 And he was 7 years old when the war broke out As for my grandmother holly she was 3 years old when the war broke out And I went past both my grandparents old homes in Weoley castle south west of Birmingham which they lived during the war years

I live in New York and I hear this sound every 6 o clock for some reason my town is weird I’m not even scared of it anymore I’m used to it lol

My great granddad fought in ww2 rip

My grandma and grandpa was in this war they were born on 1939 right when the war started but sadly mg grandma died on 26 October 2022 R.I.P❤️❤️❤️❤️

My grandpa was born in 42 but his brother was born in 1927 and I wonder if he every seen anything crazy

I Have My grandfather Was in ww2 but he was only 9 than he did not died in ww2 but i miss him

The quality of black/white film is very good.

As seeing how many wars that my grandma had been through. Now I know the experience of those wars

My grandfather was in the war and he survived

Thanks to the camera man

0:43 that remind me of scp 106 the young man hat

This was shown on the documentary, If the Bomb Drops by Panorama

I’m sure my great grandmother wasn’t involved but was in high school in the air raid war, but she was 18 during world war 2.

RIP grandad who was in WW2 u will be missed by me and your family 😰😰😰😰😨😨😨😨

I can't imagine how scare people that time in WW2, god bless you all 🙏🏼😭

Is there a full version ?? That would be cool :D

I think all the soldiers are so brave for doing all that

My nanny, Beryl used to hide in the air raid shelters in 1939 or 1940 😢😢😢 my Nan mum died In 2014

My grandad who was 5 in ww2 , he lived in bury and I’m 10, he told me not long ago that every day he would sit on his back garden wall and watch and count all the plains. He also said that when it cane to the blitz time he was terrified!

This would be scary to hear/see back then.

My grandmother said during one war when they’d see any plane flying over they’d get low and hide under anything I bet that was so terrifying

Bless all those who died fighting for their country

My parents have got an air raid shelter at the bottom of their garden in London, the house was built in the 1930s. They’ve never excavated it which is a shame.

Legends say, the baby is still crying until now.

@ rirox14. During the war I'm sure there were women who did go in to labor during the attacks.

I can imagine how scary this would be rn

I'll be damned war must be fucking terrifying and my grandfather was in the ANZAC army. May he rest in peace

I’m now scared of the fire alarms my school have lol

*when the vedio stops but the alarms keep playing* Me: oh SHI*

I didn’t know that the air raid sirens were originally a higher pitch.

Recommended on 10 years

It makes me wonder. Just how long I would have lasted, as a claustrophobic mess that I am? I would have very likely panicked and then been smothered by my neighbors to quell my nervous thrashing and pandemonium. At least those sirens are straightforward. Short bursts up and down for the hide for cover, and then the long and steady (almost peaceful or serene) drone for the All Clear. It’s quite a shame those sirens are still in use today for still all the wrong reasons excepting tornadoes and tests. Thanks for uploading this, harrowing as it is.

this happened to my nan she is alive in the room next to me now :) thank you shelters, thank you England for winning the war and freeing us!

We should have bunkers like this now and days

Luckly my grandpa or grandma not from europe but still on war to fight netherland and japan but now its peace

I just confused, because... Why is the cameramen isn't panic yet??

Bless the children. It must have been frightening.

Imagine hearing that at night ...

A4 Pacific No. 4469 Sir Ralph Wedgwood was destroyed by bomb at York Station on April 28/29, 1942 during the Baedeker blitz

i showed this video to my grandpa and he said he remembers hearing the siren and being in a bunker.

Imagine what the person recording this had to go through

1:03 Can’t stop watching

Not gonna lie. Those cars are more shiny and cleaner than the modern cars I see today on the Streets, lmao.

This video is my new morning alarm.

Just a few years away from WW2

If I use it as my alarm I will be Scared I think I have PSD idk what's called is like I am scared of that sound when it happens I will Scared as heck thinking this my end I will use this as my alarm

Imagine listening this at 3:00A.M.

This will happen in 11 years

I have to study about this and it's so sad

Absolutely scary never thought to be there

Gave me goosebumps instantly

The air raid of Great Britain during World War Two what a legend bro...

What’s the song wane the guy points for the truck to park and them get out and UN load it

Holy imagine this happen again like it would be scary

Kid hit door scream like this

My school lost the fire alarm sound so they played this alarm

We're learning about world war 2 at are school

my great great grandfather was in world war two and he was a soulder

And the children got told by their parents they were going on holiday but in reality they were getting evacuated :(

Happening again

The music 0:51 is just so ORIGINAL

At school I’m learning about ww2

Why is this cut?! I want to see the whole film!

My aunt Minda’s daddy was a World War 2 veteran but he died in 1955 and the sad thing is my Gigi was only 2 years old when he died and my aunt was 5😭😭🫡

Idk why but this scene melts my soul 1:04

I once heard an air raid siren in real life which was meant for testing. It still scared the shit of me

You take off your headphones but you still hear the sirens

Still wondering how they filmed all and put it all together with the film strips if they didn’t have TV 🤔
