The astonishing life-story of a young working-class man who fought throughout WWII, from Alamein to the invasion of Sicily, who was captured at Arnhem and as a POW survived the Allied bombing of Dresden. His exploits and adventures continued after the war, and he cut the wire which separated East from West, a few weeks before the destruction of the Berlin Wall. Radio 2 have commissioned a documentary about the life of Victor Gregg which will run directly after the station's live coverage of the Festival of Remembrance.
