Anyone know anything about William Coltman's family and childhood? He sounds like some man for one man!
If we're going to go back to talking about fighting Hitler, does anyone have access to British newspaper archives online? It might be instructive to look for the editorials on 4 March 1933 (I think it was) when Hitler swept into power, and see whether the Establishment represented by those newspapers approved or disapproved of this very thuggish party taking over Germany, which until then had been the intellectual light of Europe even during the days of starvation when English Quakers ran soup kitchens to feed the starving children in the 1920s.
