There are dozens of reminders of the time we faced the real threat of a Nazi invasion. It may have been almost 75 years since the Second World War ended but the reminders of that time go beyond annual memorial services. Take a stroll along the coast or through the countryside and there is a pretty good chance you will come across a pillbox or antitank defenses, perhaps even an RAF bunker. According to the Defence of Britain Archive, compiled by the Council for British Archaeology, there are dozens of remnants still around today that date back to the 1940s.
