Hello,
yes, those Germans bombed everywhere in europe, and they had a right old go at London, they called it the blitz, they killed many thousand civilians, and blew my Grandads warehouse up while he was in it, on the docks in London, he was employed there as a carpenter, making warehouse doors. but he managed to survive,by hiding under a door he was building, they were very thick and heavy those doors, and after he retired in 1950, he moved to a place in Essex called Doddinghurst, where he lived until he was almost 94 years old. Hope you enjoyed this item, I am assured it is all true, and I knew him, he was a bit like Uncle Albert in only fools and horses in size and looks, and Yes he had that beard too. Bye .......Tony M
