Engage: When Brits Go Bad - the darker side of wartime Britain. A talk by Roger Leivers

Thu, 07 Sep 2023 13:30

During the Second World war Britons pulled together, well most people did. But behind every conflict there are those who take advantage of the opportunities. People guilty of treachery, murder, looters and criminal gangs. This talk exposes some of those for whom the 'Bulldog' spirit simply did not exist, where war simply meant 'opportunity'.

Speaker - Roger Leivers.
