Thank you Mark for adding your expertise to this incredible story. My father wrote up the story 'Musketoon' by Stephen Schofield (a Canadian) as a tribute to the incredibly brave men who took part, all of them of his generation. The book is ISBN 0 7057 0034 8. My father knew that some of the commandos had been taken to Colditz so he went there in 1965 (East Germany) on a hunch to see if he could find the resident photographer Lange who had taken hundreds of photographs at Colditz. He hoped that he would have photographs of the commandos assuming he was still alive. He did and the pictures are in his book. He also met Sgt O'Brien and Cpl Fairclough in research for his book.

[@realhorrorshow8547]

It's something of an open question. I found this some time ago: "Aluminum is the American and Canadian spelling for the silver-white metallic element (number 13 on the periodic table) abundant in the earth’s crust. Aluminium is the preferred spelling outside North America. Neither term is superior to the other, and both are etymologically and logically justifiable. Aluminum is older, while aluminium is more consistent with other element names such as helium, lithium, magnesium, and so on (though let’s not forget there are other -um elements-molybdenum, tantalum, and platinum). Aluminium has the edge in scientific writing even in North America. This is primarily because several influential scientific organizations and publications prefer the spelling."

The Germans did in fact increase airplane production every month from September 1939 until March 1945. They had thousands upon thousands of planes, including by January 1945 hundreds of Me-262s. It made no difference, they had no pilots, no fuel, and no fuel to train new pilots. Pilot training consisted classroom instruction, then putting the trainee in a glider and pushing him off a steep hill. If he survived then he was a pilot. They would get advice from the few surviving veteran pilots leading each group. Whenever the Luftwaffe got a little fuel, the pilots were sent to intercept allied bombers. If they survived they would figure out how to fly better as they went. Air superiority over Germany during WWII had nothing to do with the ability or number of aircraft produced, and everything to do with fuel and pilots. It is easy to understand why in 1942 the English would think German airplane production numbers would affect air superiority. If the Germans had held Stalingrad and the Caucasus oil fields, then aluminum production and thus airplane production would have been the next factor limiting German air superiority.

Many tour guides at Sachenhausen regularly cover the story, I am one and always do a presentation (to Brit and Norwegian groups especially but to others as well) about Capt Black MC and his men at their memorial. There are two very huge piles of human ash near the execution pit where their remains will be. RIP brave men.

[@robertandrews6915]

Nigel Dunkley well that's great, well the part of telling the story. Here in the US, they don't teach much history, which is sad, if you learn about ww2 it's Pearl Harbor, maybe a little North Africa, d day, Ardennes offensive, and then Germany and Japan magically surrender. Stories like this really bring history to life and make you feel an emotional connection to it.

Yet these people literally...soldiered on. The concise fact laden based narration, delivered in a very matter of fact way, brings alive the reality of their experiences and makes me value their bravery.
