Život u Sarajevu pod angloameričkim bombama (1943-1945)
Life in Sarajevo Under Anglo-American Bombs

Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the Anglo-American bombardment of the city of Sarajevo and its surroundings from 1943 to 1945. Based on the original sources of local authorities and the press at the time, the author describes aerial attacks and reconstructs the events on the ground after the bombardment and points out how the organs of local civil protection, local authorities, and population reacted. Emphasis was placed on the implementation of the preventive protective measures (construction of a network of public shelters, blackouts of residences), material destruction, human tragedy and the repair of the damage that occurred. The considered aspects of air attacks on the town reflect the difficult destinies and social deviations (theft, rise of prices) in which the town dwellers lived during the Second World War.
