Unseen Heroism: The Welsh Woman Who Defended a Hamburg Church During WWII

Mabel Wulff, a Welsh woman from Newport, displayed extraordinary bravery while caring for the St Thomas à Becket Anglican Church in Hamburg during World War II. Facing Gestapo harassment, she safeguarded church artwork, extinguished fires from bombing raids, and sheltered displaced families. Her grandson, Eddie Wulff, now seeks to honor her legacy which includes a plaque commemorating her actions. Mabel’s determination and courage earned her significant acclaim, including a British Empire Medal in 1956, yet her story remains largely unknown in her homeland.
