This talk takes you behind the scenes of Farm Hall as we ‘listen in’ on the conversations of 10 German Scientists. From July 1945 to January 1946, they happily occupied the Hall, reading the daily newspapers, listening to the radio, looked after by their own German PoW staff, the best food and wine (and spirits). Even playing ball games in the garden. All the time their every word was being transcribed across the road by a team of translators.
