The Woman Who Censored Churchill
During the Second World War, the only way Winston Churchill and his American counterpart Franklin D Roosevelt could communicate was via a top secret transatlantic telephone link. All other Atlantic telephone cables had been disconnected to prevent the Germans intercepting information. Ruth Ive, then a young stenographer working in the Ministry of Information, had the job of censoring the line. She spent the rest of the war listening in to the conversations. It was not until 1995 when Churchill's private files were declassified that Ruth was able to describe the details of her incredible story.
