I have just joined to answer a thread about my Uncle Leo Hughes - under Accrington Observer link.
However- I wonder if anyone can help me out. Leo worked at Bletchley park- he mentioned ths when my sister moved to Milton Keynes years ago. I have this hidden fantasy that he was a codebreaker or a translator from the German text into the English. He could speak German, French, Flemish, Latin and was an Officer.I know he was in Germany just before the war broke out as he heard Hitler speak but refused to salute him - and this was frowned upon and soon aftrer he returned to England.I know his German was very fluent as he told me that someone asked him which part of Germany did he come from.
My mum - his sister, said that he never talked about what he did.I have googled his name to no avail.
How do I find out what he did? It could be that he was only the caretaker !
