Jozef Garlinski & Eileen Short
"I shan't make any attempt to get away, I shall stay in Warsaw. I will wait for you"
On the 1st of September 1939 Nazi Germany invaded Poland. 25-year-old Christian Pole Jozef Garlinski had just fallen in love with Eileen Short, an Irish nurse on an exchange visit from Liverpool. His colonel gave him an hour's leave to get married before the regiment left for the front. Eileen's parting words to Jozef were her commitment to wait.
Jozef joined the Polish underground resistance. He was arrested in April 1943 + arrived at Auschwitz in May. Eileen remained in Warsaw. During the Warsaw Uprising in 1944 she helped care for wounded. The German SS captured + shot anyone who looked like a soldier or who was wearing an armband. Eileen survived only because her red cross armband had falllen off + was stuffed in her pocket. The survivors were taken to a camp for civilians near the city. She escaped from the camp + spent the next few months with relatives of Jozef..
Jozef + Eileen had decided before the war that if they were separated + the Soviets took over Poland they would head for the West + contact each other through Eileen's mother in Ireland. Their plan was successful, both reaching London where they settled + raised their son.

Prompt 29 - a book about a food truck - May 27, 2025 - This is a historical fiction novel loosely based on the author's mother's experience in WWII. Did you know the Red Cross sent women in trucks to the front lines to serve coffee and donuts to the soldiers? Me either. This is a great tribute to the women who served in whatever capacity they were able to.

In bed with a (new) #wargame! Finally, got @djackthompson.bsky.social ’s #WarStory: #OccupiedFrance [ #Undaunted anyone? ] I’m curious and excited. I quite liked his #Witchcraft, a very beautiful #sologame. Instead of rushing over #Spiel24, I got #OccupiedFrance in a store. #boardgamesky

I'm sure the war stories of other experienced developers could contribute a lot more...

The Catcher
Stella Goldschlag was a German Jewish woman who collaborated with the Gestapo during World War II, exposing and denouncing Berlin's underground Jews.
She was the only child in a middle-class, assimilated family and like other Jewish children, was forbidden to go to a state school by Nazi racial policies, so she attended the Goldschmidt School, set up by the local Jewish community. In 1942, with the deportation programs in effect, she disappeared underground with forged papers, passing as a non-Jew with her blonde-haired, blue-eyed 'Aryan' appearance. She was captured and tortured before, in order to avoid the deportation of herself and her parents she agreed to become a "catcher" (Greiferin) for the Gestapo, hunting down the "submerged" (Untergetauchter). Besides her parent's protection, she was promised a reward of 300 Reichsmark for each Jew that she betrayed. Posing as a hidden Jew herself, Stella offered food and accommodation to her former classmates before handing over information about their friends and family to the Gestapo. She is said to have helped capture over 600 hidden Jews. Despite her parents eventually being murdered in Auschwitz, she continued to collaborate to insure her own safety.
After the war, the one known as 'Blonde Poison' again went into hiding. She was found and arrested by the Soviets in October 1945 and sentenced to ten years of hard labor. She committed suicide in 1994.
