Gregory Way was born in southwest England in 1970. He joined the Royal Navy in 1988 and volunteered for the submarine service, completing his 22 years service in 2010. Having gained some experience in Naval maritime security and force protection he spent the next eight years working for a private maritime security company providing armed and unarmed protection for merchant ships in the worlds high risk areas. After 30 years in a maritime environment, Gregory decided upon a career change and in late 2018 started work with a global engineering company closer to home. With a lifelong interest in the Second World War, particularly the German military, he became interested in the Fallschirmtruppe during the 1990s and by chance in 1998 came into contact with several Fallschirmjäger veterans. Having conducted further research, Gregory set up a website in 1999 detailing the exploits of this famous formation and in 2001 he decided to publish the first-hand accounts he had recieved over the years. The veterans were pleased that their stories could finally be told, in their own words. Gregory currently lives in Plymouth, England with his wife and two children. See less
