How did the insurance industry adapt to deal with the death and destruction of the Second World War. Could a londoner take out home insurance during the Blitz? Could parents take out life insurance for a son or daughter in the armed forces?

I'm afraid I haven't got anything on life insurance or the wider industry, but I touch on the War Damages Act in the UK that provided property and private chattel insurance for everyone after insurance companies excluded war damage in 1937 in If my house in London got destroyed by a German air raid, who do I approach to cover the cost? Does my mortgage cease to exist? Does the government subsidise the cost?
