D18057. Chiefs of Staff's Meeting Room.

             D18057.  With the prospect of a war against Nazi Germany becoming more and more likely during the late 1930s, it was decided that a place of safety needed to be found where the Government and military leaders could carry out their vital tasks in the event of an aerial bombardment.  

Storage rooms in a London basement under some Government buildings were therefore hastily converted into office and living accommodation where the Prime Minister and his staff could work in safety.  These became known as the Cabinet War Rooms and they are now open to the public as a permanent museum and memorial to wartime leader Winston Churchill.  

This is the room in which the heads of the army, navy and air force, the Chiefs of Staff, used to meet to discuss the coordination of their respective services in the struggle against Nazi Germany.
