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.
The late DOUGLAS MODEL was a retired consultant physician. Before taking up medicine, he spent ten years as a navigating officer on large passenger and cargo ships running to Australasia and all over the world. He spent his childhood, aged six to eleven, living in London throughout the war. His memoir My Friend The Sea has been well received on Amazon, and he has previously written articles for the Guardian, the BMJ, Lancet and other journals. He lived in Westminster.
