    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

    #1 I was ashamed to admit that I was afraid of death. I had endured the first German invasion in 1940 and four years of German occupation without dwelling on the prospect of my own death. I may have unconsciously adopted a soldier's mindset about facing death.

    #2 Fear can be kept at bay by this psychological trick as long as hope does not begin to creep into your subconscious. The soldier who begins to believe he may actually survive the war may be haunted by fear.

    #3 On December 21, I was praying in the cellar chapel when a German artillery shell exploded just outside. The room was filled with dust and smoke. Sister Ursula stood up from the prie-dieu, and turned to face us. She had a beautiful and calm expression, but she never said a word. She clutched her heart and then collapsed.

      If the interview with Simon Jenkins in your March issue (A Welsh Tragedy?) is anything to go by, I suspect his recent Radio 4 documentary – controversially entitled Wales: A Twentieth-Century Tragedy? – was largely based on flimsy anecdotal evidence.
