The home front in Germany during the Second World War was discernibly characterized by both its wartime economy; an economy led by the Nazi-driven industrial production of war materiel, and that of an existence under the continued uncertainty and terror imposed by the Allied bombing campaign. It is in the convergence of these two physiognomies which comprise the thesis for this research paper. Nearly all other attendant attributes of the German home front can be traced back to these two characteristics and their relationships will be highlighted herein.
