Comments & Feedback

My late mum worked at KLM Motors during WW2. Sadly she died in 1962 when I was 13, so I never had the chance to expand upon my knowledge to add to my family history. Is anybody able to advise where I may find details of what conscripted women may have performed in garages, or anything else specific to KLM Motors in general?
