Welcome along to a new We Have Ways series - Between the Lines.

This production decodes handwriting, unfolds faded pages, and dips into the details of diaries, log books and letters written this same week in 1943.

Written in the moment, these amazing stories give us a truly personal view of a world at war. We’ll meet a cast of characters throughout the series. From a mother and son desperately trying to keep in touch to a young German fighter ace. We’ll also get to know the aide to General Omar Bradley and the captain of HMS Warspite.

New episodes will be released every Thursday.
