In 1933 Sybil Bannister, a young British woman, set up home in Danzig with her new husband, a German medical student. This is an account of the hardship of her war experience. Her marriage broke up, she was separated from her son, and endured Hamburg's bombing raids and the Wuppertal firestorm. Max Hastings and Antony Beevor both used her work as a primary source for civilian life in Germany during the Second World War and the bombing campaign. She spent most of the war in West Prussia and was in the city of Danzig when the fighting broke out on 1st September 1939. Her description of that is necessarily brief as she was within days of giving birth at the time. Nevertheless, she presents us with a first-hand account of that day along with the insouciant attitude of the local population who seemed to think that it was all going to be over very quickly once the Polish campaign ended. By 1943, Sybil Bannister was in Barmen, when the city was heavily bombed by the RAF. Her account of getting out of a blazing building with her small son in her arms is a masterpiece of English understatement. The authoress was born in England and moved to Germany in the mid-1930s when she married a German doctor. Thus she became a German national as a married woman's status in those days was based on that of her husband. She was left alone by the authorities for most of the war, with the only glitch in her life coming after the marriage broke up in mid-war whereupon the authorities insisted that her child went to live with his father. Luckily that separation did not last long and mother and son fled together from Prussia when the Soviets attacked in early 1945. She escaped to Hamburg, just in time to experience the final destruction of the city and its surrender to the British. This work is a chronicle and not a history. Sylvia Bannister does not analyse her situation she merely reports matters as they arose. Thus food shortages she endured in Western Germany and the plentiful supplies that she enjoyed in the Eastern part of the country are reported but without any attempt to try to explain just why the much-vaunted German efficiency did not apply to the distribution of food nationwide. Similarly, early in the war she and her husband are offered a selection of nice houses that had formerly been the property of Poles. It is obvious that she is aware of this and is not too happy about it, but at the end of the day that is the way things are run and she seems to accept the rules without too many questions. Those caveats aside, there are not all that many ordinary people who found themselves mixed up in momentous events and who then left a written account of those events for future generations. Sybil Bannister did, which is why her book, first published in 1957, was reprinted in a slightly updated form in 1995 and will continue to be used as a primary source for civilian life in wartime Germany.
