Actor Christopher Lee appeared in over 200 films during a 67 year career.
They included the James Bond classic“The Man with the Golden Gun”, Lord of the Rings, and most famously 10 times as Dracula in the Hammer Horror movies.

But what a lot of people don’t know is that he served as an intelligence in the RAF during World War 2.

More intriguingly, he also claimed that he served with special forces too.

My name is Chris Green and I love to share stories from British history. Not just because they are interesting but because, good or bad, they have shaped the world we live in today.

History should not be stuffy or a long list of dates or kings & queens.
So rather than lectures or Youtube animations, I tell stories that bring the past to life.

My aim is to be chat as if I were having a coffee or meal with you. Jean in Maryland, USA recently wrote: "Chris, is the history teacher I wish I had at school!"

Just for the record, I do have a history degree in Medieval & Modern history from the University of Birmingham.
