One Day at a Time

The war years of 1939 - 1945 were a time when ordinary people did extraordinary things. Some events and experiences are well documented; some told first hand by the people who were there. Many kept their own counsel, choosing, over the years, to disclose only fragments of those times. Descendants become curious to know of their ancestors' past - everyone has a story. Some will remain untold, some pieced together with the help of documents and archives recently released.
The more I investigated, the more the snippets told to me by my father, corroborated and expanded upon by others, have fallen into place. I have endeavoured to be as accurate as possible, but this is a work of fiction based on his story, some characters, locations, and incidents have been fictionalized or modified for dramatic purposes.
