Lee Harvey Oswald (18 October 1939 – 24 November 1963) was an American communist and lathe operator. He is most famous for assassinating President John F. Kennedy and police officer J.D. Tippit, on the day before Doctor Who premiered. Oswald and the Kennedy assassination have been oft referenced in the DWU.
On 22 November 1963, the Ninth Doctor was photographed in Dealey Plaza in Dallas. President Kennedy passed within a few feet of him an instant before being fatally shot by Oswald. (TV: Rose; WEB: Defending the Earth!) At the same time, the Doctor's seventh incarnation and Ace were in London, combating Daleks at 76 Totter's Lane and the Coal Hill School.

On an unspecified date, likely after the 21st century, the spaceship Alaska crashed into the Dalek Asylum planet. The only two persons known to have survived impact were crewman Harvey and assistant entertainment manager Oswin Oswald. Harvey froze to death on the surface and was converted by the nanocloud into a Dalek puppet. Oswald was captured and entirely converted into a Dalek. (TV: Asylum of the Daleks)
