Pat Owtram didnt need to go to war. It came to her.
As the Nazis took control of Germany and Austria, her father hired Jewish refugees to cook and clean at the family home in Lancashire. Many conversations with them paid off in 1942, when Owtram applied to join the Womens Royal Naval Service (Wrens) and a test showed that she was fluent in German.
She became one of the 400 or so women who served at Y stations along the British coast, intercepting German naval signals throughout the war. (AP video shot by Kwiyeon Ha)
