Witness History: Archive 2012 - Bush House in wartime

The BBC World Service is leaving Bush House in central London after 70 years there.

It first started broadcasting from the building during World War II.

Lisa Hirsch worked for the Yugoslav service, as a secretary and an announcer - she remembers the atmosphere and the people of the time.
