The Anne Frank house, Prinsengracht 263, Amsterdam (at the centre behind the tree). Anne, her family and four others hid from the Nazis in a secret annexe behind her father's business premises. This was accessed via a hinged bookcase. On her thirteenth birthday, just before they went into hiding, Anne was presented with a diary. During the two years in hiding she wrote about events in the annexe as well as some short stories. The annexe was discovered on 4 August 1944 and everyone was arrested along with two of the helpers. Fortunately part of Anne’s writing was saved by two other helpers who took the documents before the annexe was emptied by order of the Nazis. Anne and her family were sent to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration and extermination camp. The train journey took three days, during which Anne and over a thousand others were packed closely together in cattle wagons. Upon arrival at Auschwitz, Nazi doctors checked to see who would be capable of doing heavy forced labour. Around 350 people from Anne's transport were immediately murdered in the gas chambers. Anne, her sister Margot and their mother were sent to the labour camp for women. Her father, Otto ended up in a camp for men. In early November 1944, Anne and her sister were deported to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp where they both died after contracting typhus. Anne’s father Otto was the only one of the people in the annexe to survive the war and had her diary printed in 1947. It has now been translated into 70 languages. Sorry, no internal shots as photography isn't allowed within the house/museum. This is a excellent place to visit, very moving and thought provoking. #annefrank #amsterdam #ww2 #bookcase #holocaust #concentrationcamp #belsen #aushwitz #secretannexe #annefranksdiary #1940s #historicflyingclothing #diary #ottofrank #margotfrank #wartimediary #amsterdam #annefrankhuis #annfrankhouse

Excellent log book grouping to a RAF airgunner with 51 and 77 squadrons. He served a full tour of ops including two on D-day. Targets attacked include supply dumps at Bois de Cassan, Caen, Wanne - Eickel (Ruhr), St. Lo & Maisy coastal guns on D-day, Dunkirk etc. He notes encounters with the enemy, being hit by flak etc. In February 1944 he has a confirmed Me109 kill shared with the mid upper turret gunner. On 14th June 1944 they bombed the 12th Panzer division at Caen. On 17th June 1944 his Halifax bomber was attacked by a Ju88 and although they managed to destroy the enemy aircraft, their own was set ablaze resulting in ditching in the North sea. Luckily they were picked by a MTB and landed at Felixtowe later the same day. Because of this ditching he was eligible for membership of the Goldfish club and given a card and cloth badge. He was also awarded the distinguished flying medal on 9th July 1944, 75 years ago. #raf #ww2 #bombercommand #halifaxbomber #logbook #1940s #aircrew #flying #aviation #d-day #d-day75 #dfc #luftwaffe #goldfishclub #51squadron #77squadron #rafsnaith #rafelvington #elvington #yorkshireairmuseum #historicflyingclothing #thehistoricflyingclothingcompany #medals #gallantrymedals #motortorpedoboat #flyingclothing #warservicedress #luftwaffe #me109 #messerschmitt #junkers #panzertank

WW2 pill box at Runswick Bay on the North Yorkshire coast. This casemate is of type FW3/23 built in 1940 and into 1941 to defend against potential enemy invasion.
