George Beck: August 20, 1943

We had quite a bit of luck today, for the first time since being prisoners we heard ‘London Calling’, the old Blighty news. The guard was out and the other guard was kept busy talking, while we tapped in and got Blighty on the radio. How grand it was and according to that Orel, has fallen in Russia, and Germany may fall this year.
