The Map Room at the Cabinet War Rooms was staffed day and night throughout the Second World War. It was here that some of the most important strategic decisions of the war were planned. It was in this room that Prime Minister Winston Churchill spent the entirety of D-Day. And only a handful of people even knew this room existed. What exactly went on in the top secret Map Room in the Cabinet War Rooms, who worked here, and why will some of these details will continue to remain a mystery to this day?

My aunt, Miss Winifred Tindall , was one of secretaries that sat at the big table. She had a seat on the plane to Canada should the worst happen . Three parts of Operation Fortidude were named after the secretaries that took notes for Winnie. It was a proud moment seeing her cavas and steel chair to the left of Winstons . This was where my aunt “Did Her Bit “ .

Fabulous! I'm sure you feel a massive amount of pride, I know I would.

That’s fantastic. She genuinely had a front-seat in history. I hope she discussed it with your family so her experiences were recorded.

Somehow this footage gives me a sense of the massive scale of the war. Maybe because of the huge maps. And a fascinating look into one of the main nerve centres of that war and how it operated.

Been there couple of years ago. It was an amazing museum to visit and know!!

@simonhellier7281 2 года назад

These videos are great. There are places where you can tell history happened, and this is one of them. They don’t need multimedia experiences to spoon feed information, just some basic knowledge and a sense of imagination to visualise the momentous decisions made, and Churchill’s presence. Priceless.

Thanks for the historical video. Many forget about war rationing and the 3 sugar cubes for a weeks ration rings home. Happy to see WWII history being preserved.

There it was decided what should happen at Dunkirk. After the war, a BBC team visited General Montgomery "Monty" at his home for an interview. Among other things the reporter asked General Montgomery: "Monty, are you still contemplating that fabulous victory over Nazi Germany?" General Montgomery answered: No. Actually, no. What I am lately thinking about is that why was my mother so cruel to me during my school days?

The Pacific war was a American personal project, after Pearl Harbor with one War Room in Washington DC. Nice to know that others were keeping track from the outside.

late reply but there was actually significant British (and Australian) involvement in the Pacific theatre as well

Once the Russians won at Kursk in 1943 , the Russians were on a unstoppable march to Berlin even if D-Day never took place. We could have just closed the war room and got out the popcorn and watched the rest.

It was. It was an unsinkable aircraft carrier. Also a great staging area for the invasion of France. If no G.B., we would have had to stage in Africa and cross the Med. Or go through all of N Africa and north past Egypt.
