Across the globe, all four of my grandparents put their lives on the line during World War II.
From love and romance...
It was during the bombing of the hospital that they fell in love.
-I owe my life to that bloody war.
-To the secret world of spying.
You can categorically say that my grandfather was a spy?
-Absolutely he is.
'Tis one of the most important spying operations of 1940-- -We can stop there, that's fine.
