Fighting from Dunkirk to Berlin chronicles the extraordinary military service of Wilfred Needler, from his mention in despatches at Dunkirk in 1940 and continuing through pivotal moments such as his battlefield commission in Africa, his participation in the Invasion of Sicily, landing on Gold Beach on D-Day, and his appointment as Brigade Intelligence Officer. Wounded at El Alamein and recommended for the Belgian Order of Leopold for his work with the Resistance, Wilfred's remarkable journey is documented through firsthand accounts, personal diary records, and war diary archives, alongside powerful photographs that bring his story to life all the way through to his retirement as a Major, in 1957 and his life post-war.This book illuminates the critical role of intelligence officers in the Second World War, providing new insight into their often-unseen contributions to military strategy and espionage. Through Wilfred's experiences, readers will discover the complex world of codebreaking, tactical intelligence, and the quiet heroism of those working behind the frontlines. His story offers a rare and invaluable perspective on the art of war, showing how intelligence shaped battles and altered the course of history.Beyond military service, this memoir is a rich family legacy, offering a profound and inspiring account of sacrifice, resilience, and bravery. Filled with powerful images and historical documents, it stands as both a tribute to Wilfred's courage and a testament to the enduring impact of one family's contributions to the war effort. His story, filled with tragedy, triumph, and a legacy of quiet leadership, will inspire and astound readers for generations to come.
