Vidal Sasoon just died - he's known for hairdressing, but had another side when he was young...

At the age of 17, although having been too young to serve in the Second World War, he became the youngest member of the 43 Group, a Jewish veterans' underground organisation. It fought against anti-semitism after the war ended by breaking up Fascist meetings in East London.[8] One newspaper refers to him as an "anti-fascist warrior-hairdresser", whose aim was to prevent Sir Oswald Mosley's far-Right movement from spreading "messages of hatred" in the period following the Second World War.[9]
