World War 2 Bombing Raid Sound Effects (Cinesound)

A typical soundscape of a World War 2 bombing raid from ground level.
Strongly recommend good speakers or headphones for this. Comprised entirely of sounds from Cinesound. No uninspired characterless sound effects from Sound Ideas or Hollywood Edge here I can assure you. ;)

Many of the sounds from the Cinesound Effects Library were recorded during World War 2 and are some of the cleanest recordings you can get from that era. As a result, you get unrivaled authenticty that modern recordings cannot match. The sounds have a rawness and distinct charm to them that no sound from todays digital libraries come even close to matching.

The opening siren is not correct. The continuous siren tone was used for the all clear at the end of the raid. The signal that a raid was imminent was a rising tone reducing to silence with further rising tone going back down to silence and so on.

Thank you for posting this. I am currently in the play Copenhagen playing Werner Heisenberg. He makes lots of references to what it was like being bombed. I'm going to take this video and make it the sounds I hear when my alarm goes off.
