Oliver Churchill
William Oliver Churchill (1914–1997) was an Special Operations Executive (SOE) officer during the Second World War. Shortly after the Italians had switched allegiance to the Allies in September 1943, he was parachuted into German occupied Corfu to inform the Italian commander that the Allies would support him, and in August 1944 was parachuted into northern Italy behind German lines to act as British Liaison Officer with the partisan leaders.
He was the younger brother of Walter Churchill and Peter Churchill.
==Early life==
His father was William Algernon Churchill (1865–1947), a British Consul who served in Mozambique, Amsterdam, Pará in Brazil, Stockholm, Milan, Palermo, and Algiers. His father was also an art connoisseur, and author of what is still the standard reference work on early European paper and papermaking, ''Watermarks in Paper''.〔(Watermarks in Paper )〕 His mother was Violet (née Myers).
Oliver was born in Stockholm in 1914 and educated at Stowe School and Cambridge University where he read Modern Languages at King's College, after which he studied architecture at Cambridge before his studies were interrupted by the war.〔(SOE Personal File at National Archives )〕
