Chapter 14, Just Like The Ones We Used To Know, Christmas Day
Finally, I get Chapter 14 up, after a detour to something hinted at in Under Cover.
There actually isn't that much research that I haven't already discussed before.
The King's Speech took some research to find and while it's quite the info dump, I just didn't feel right editing it. The part in the House of Russell was in my previous Christmas story but edited slightly to fit better within TSG.
I did have fun with Susan's fashions and spent a lot of time here looking at the pictures of French fashion from the 1930s. I imagine Susan wearing something like this:

Oh, I dropped the hint that Michael Pole is with the RAF Photo Reconnaissance Unit flying out of RAF Benson in Oxfordshire.
Edmund's musing on the Leipzig War Crimes tribunals come from various sources and while generally reviled as a failure were also precedent-setting. My particular spin on it comes from Telford Taylor's The Anatomy of the Nuremberg Trials. You can read the basics in the wiki entry.
This page has good information about the context of Foreign Secretary Eden's statement to the House of Commons on December 17, 1942 regarding what would eventually be called the Holocaust.
Thanks to adaese, Doctor Dolly, anastigmatfic, h_dash_h and felipemarcusthomas who have been invaluable as I juggled with the different interactions.
That's all. Thanks so much for reading. I'm now at the point where I can really turn to the NBB. First check in is in a week and I've not started, so here's hoping I can pull it off. And that's all for now. I do hope I hear from folks. I was two days late posting this. I promised Christmas Day, but I felt I disappointed by using the King's Christmas Message and the repeat of the Russell House part, so I wrote the Under Cover tie in. Writing that segment took a little time.
