Notes and Errata: The Geneva Convention came into force in 1931, so was in effect during WWII. 'I Was Monty's Double' was a real-life account written by M. E. Clifton James and published in 1954; it was adapted into a film in 1958 and included a scene at the end where the Germans attempt to kidnap the false Monty.

Sorry (again) that this took so long to post. It was recorded in May 2016 and I couldn't find the time to edit it - thankfully Murray stepped up with a bit of spare time and we've been able to publish. Hopefully (fingers crossed) it won't be so long before the next one ...
