Their Finest Hour Interactive Map
Description (This can only be plain text, i.e. no links or bullet points.)
Their Finest Hour's newly launched interactive map allows you to follow 100 personal journeys through the Second World War, across Britain and the globe.
From military service and internment to evacuation and everyday life on the home front, each journey reveals a unique perspective on life during the Second World War.
Use the keyword filters to tailor your exploration, and adjust the date slider to focus on specific moments in time. View photographs, letters, and personal objects linked to each story, trace individuals' journeys across the globe, and explore wartime geography using historic overlays and Second World War-era map boundaries.
Each point on the map opens a story panel where you can explore a personal account in more detail and access a direct link to the full contribution in the Their Finest Hour Online Archive, which holds over 2,000 stories and 25,000 digitised items shared by members of the public between 2022 and 2024.
