Janina Struk's Polish father never told her how close he
came to being stranded in Nazi-occupied France. But after he died – thanks to a
postcard – she traced his lucky steps.
The postcard from St-Jean-de-Luz, on which the young
Wladyslaw, a Polish airman, wrote: 'I was in this place on 23 June 1940 at two
in the afternoon.'
