I have some interesting information about a very young German-Jewish refugee who ended up as a member of the Home Guard manning a Heavy Anti-Aircraft battery somewhere in Birmingham. His unit was the 71st Warwickshire Home Guard H.A.A. Battery.
The only clue about the location of this battery is that he and his comrades attended a Stand-down dinner in February 1945 at Brandwood House Barracks, Small Heath.
Can anyone cast any light on this unit, and also on Brandwood House Barracks, please?
Should be grateful for any help.
