206835 Martin Sidney Wilson British Army Royal Army Service Corps from:London My father told me that my Grandfather was in the RASC in WW2 and went back to Europe to fight the Nazis as he was a Jewish Refugee. He called himself Martin Sidney Wilson after the immigration officer who asked him what name he would like. He was German originally had been a decorated German field officer in WW1. He emigrated to the UK via South America and New York in 1939 and lived in London with his wife and 2 children. I know that he secured ausweiss for his two children and they came on a kindertransport to the UK with help from the Society of Friends (Quakers) in 1939. They lived in an orphanage until my grandparents found them late in 1939. Times were rough for many in those far flung days.
Does anyone know of my grandfather or know where I can find out any information about him? Any help is much appreciated .
