Both Sides

This is a story with many tales within it all based in the Second World War. A story that deals with the trials and tribulations of two families one German and one English on each side of the divide. The English family from father down engaged in and about the RAF and eager to support their country. The German family farmers who do not like the autocratic and authoritarian rule of the Nazi party and all it stood for are suddenly presented with the opportunity of saving and hiding an English pilot who has parachuted on their land. The story covers both sides and all family members, the Oakley's are father, mother son and two daughters whilst the Gunther's have only one daughter. Each character is treated in full and shows the development of their separate and communal lives. It is a tale to show the possibilities of an approach to life on both sides of a major war.
