As a part of our continuing effort to commemorate the incredible global story of WW2, we present our ongoing ‘Family Stories’ series.

This series tells YOUR relatives’ stories of derring do - both on the front line and home front.

In this episode we hear about British civilians preparing for guerilla war, bombs that remained hidden until the 1950s, a Polish pilot above Italy, and a moving final letter from beyond the grave.

With thanks to Brian, David, Karl, and Richard
