Imagine: you have just survived the most horrific war in history, defeated the enemy, and are looking forward to a peaceful life. But instead of spring, the "White Death" arrives. The winter of 1947 was an ordeal for Great Britain that almost brought the Empire to its knees.
In this video, we travel back to the era of the "Black Frost," when:
Temperatures plummeted to $-21$°C in unheated homes.
Coal became more precious than gold, and cities were plunged into total darkness.
Seven-meter snowdrifts trapped thousands of people in their own houses.
The RAF dropped food from planes to save entire towns from starvation.
This is the story of how Britain faced an energy collapse, an icy prison, and a Great Flood. Discover how people survived in frost-covered apartments and why Britons remember 1947 with more dread than the years of the Blitz.
