Two German airmen, who parachuted from a Heinkel He 111 bomber that was shot down in the Battle of Britain, are marched off by the Home Guard near Goodwood in Sussex, 12 September 1940.

The Home Guard was a secondary defence force of men set up to support the RAF as the threat of invasion grew during the Luftwaffe bombing campaign in the Battle of Britain.
