In a special November presentation, we unearth this short story gem from Timothy Callender, written for a special publication he created to celebrate Barbados' 21st anniversary of Independence. Step into the world of Grandfather Willie, a World War Two veteran, on Remembrance Day. He recounts his extraordinary (and perhaps exaggerated) encounters with Mr Hitler and the "Notsees" (Nazis). A mysterious lucky charm leads to a surprising conversation with a weary Führer himself. Grandfather Willie's tale is a humorous and thought-provoking exploration of war, freedom, and the power of belief. Discover how one man's "luck" and a unique perspective on independence ultimately bring about the end of the war in a way no one expected. Is it all true, or just a good story? Listen and decide for yourself!
