| Summary: | The directive replies are responses from Mass Observation's National Panel (around 500 volunteers who wrote personal accounts for Mass Observation) to open-ended questionnaires. The addition of replies for the years 1943-1945 completes the series of directive replies for the war period and up to December 1945. The questionnaires asked for opinions on a variety of subjects, such as children, housing, money and religion, class, race, sexual behaviour, air raids, and conscription. Specific topics given to respondents between 1943 and 1945 include demobilisation, post-war hopes and expectations, the atomic bomb and attitudes towards public figures such as Aneurin Bevan and Clement Atlee. Among the responses are those of long-term panellists Nella Last and Naomi Mitchison. |
