My wife liked the story but I found it totally unrealistic.
After Dunkirk there was no troops fighting in France in 1941.
Only the very rich had private telephones.
Petrol was restricted to essential users.
German air raids were all in night time after 1940.
ID cards were compulsory which were always demanded by the Police on a stop
