Cyril, brought up on Hoarwithy Road used to talk to one German through the wire: “We’d heard on the wireless that Britain would probably win the war so I went out to him, feeling a bit cocky, and said: ‘Who’s best now! Churchill or Hitler?’![]()
‘Oh,’ he replied, ‘Hitler. And when we win the war I’ll take you back to Germany with me!’”![]()
