About the contributor

I was part of the BBC WW2 team, working mainly with libraries, museums, age agencies etc to widen access to the site.

WW2 Connections
Partly as a result of working on this project, I've learned more about my grandparents' part in WW2. My paternal Grandparents worked as medics in London throughout the war after a dash across Europe to escape the advancing Axis forces, while my Mother's Father spent time in a Gestapo jail for harbouring members of the Danish resistance.
