In this vivid memoir, Douglas
Model tells the incredible true story of his wartime childhood in Wembley
amidst the horrors of the Blitz. Contrasting his peaceful infant life – which
included a hiking holiday to Nazi Germany in 1934 – with the terrors of war,
Douglas remembers his schooling, friendships and childhood mischief alongside
the everyday realities of bombing raids, gas masks and rationing.Memories of a Wartime Childhood in London provides an invaluable account of significant wartime events through the eyes of a child, including the fall of France, the Dunkirk evacuation, the horrifying discoveries of Nazi concentration camps and, at long last, the sweetness of Allied victory.
