Abstract
The text records day to day life under National Socialism as it was experienced by Charlotte Angermann, a resident of Dresden during the Second World War. Angermann writes of bombing raids on other German cities, the shortages faced by the general population and the deaths of friends and family members. The diary entries are constructed as an address to her daughter, Marianne Angermann-Bielschowsky, who was at the time in Great Britain where worked as a research under Professor Green at the University of Sheffield.
