May 10th 1940 is when Germany invaded the Netherlands. We have all heard about the story of Ann Frank but the Nazis were searching not only for Jews but teenage dutch boys .Some of my roots are from Holland but I was unaware until this year that my mums cousin was one of these boys who was taken. He never came home and no one knows what ever happened to him. After that anytime the Nazis came knocking at their door, my mums aunt and uncle had their other son hiding inbetween the walls. My Grandfathers brother Neville was in the RAF. He was shot down over Japan and became a prisoner of war. The stories of what he endured were horrendous and when he did finally make it back to England at the end of the war he was very sick and never fully recovered.
