Bit of a long shot, but does anyone here know anything about the female British typists who went to Germany in 1945 to type up the peace treaty?

@helenpugh You could look for the diary of Joy Millward https://www.spiegel.de/geschichte/potsdamer-konferenz-1945-wie-churchills-sekretaerin-die-neuordnung-der-welt-erlebte-a-6599ba61-7dc2-48a9-9cf7-3d12f3e2debe

@helenpugh I’m sure the Imperial War Museum in London would have information. https://www.iwm.org.uk

Also, The National Archives in Kew has government records.
Good luck with the search. -

Several surrender documents were signed. Stalin insisted on having his own separate ceremony.

@helenpugh Can only find this AI result, and can't find where AI got it from may help you

@ArrestJK seriously, dude? How is it at all helpful to repost some unsubstantiated garbage spat out by The Lie Machine?

@gunchleoc thanks so much. I came across mentions of this diary online but can't find where I can read it.

@arratoon thanks. I've tried there to no avail!

Good luck with the search.@sticklandtim thanks. I've already tried there but without paying 42 quid for my grandmother's records, I couldn't find anything.

@helenpugh Oh no, that’s disappointing.

@helenpugh It doesn't help that Banksy's wife is called Joy Millward (with 2 l, the Joy we're talking about has only 1 l in her surname).
Maybe the palace where they had the exhibition about her can help if you contact them? https://www.potsdam.de/en/content/cecilienhof-palace
