As a German thank you for your work. When we try to ask our grandparents about this topic, there´s silence most of the time. Not because they lost the war but because it was such a cruel time. Even my great grandmother who had polio and under (during this time) normal circumstances was supposed to be killed didn´t say a word except "There are things you don´t want to know."

[@donnaogorman4935]

As I was scanning the stories and this came up.....and the tears flowed. Greetings from Canada. This is my Uncle Dick who was married to my Dad's oldest sister my Aunt Rita. He died in Aug of 2022 at the age of 100 and 9 months. I always thanked two people on the Anniversary of D Day and Remembrance Day....my Dad who landed in Juno Beach and Normandy and my Uncle Duck. This Nov 11 for the first time in decades I couldn't pick up that phone and say Hi Uncle Dick it's Donna. Rough day. Please don't ever forget these men who took such chances to give us our freedom. So glad You were my Uncle my entire life. 😘

My mums Mum was a child at that time she would tell us stories how they would be woken up in the night and have to go to the bombing shelters, she met one of her life long friends in there. But when ever we were visiting and a Thunderstorm would happen, My grandma would lay on the sofa with a pillow over her head and let out a gasp/yelp whenever the thunder would clap..... I didnt understand it when I was little...but now I know its because of the horrors that she endured as a child. Thank you for your service, sir.

Thanks for showing a pilot from the RAF. My Grandmother was an RAF nurse. She died in 2012 at the age of 88. She would have been an interesting interview. She would talk about her experiences as a nurse at Ipswich. She would tell us about the different soldiers and airmen who came through. She also went out to the runway as the planes came back. Some made it back, only to crash on the runway. Wish she was here to tell the stories for your channel. Thanks again for your channel.

[@RollingEasy]

I was relocated for few days during a bushfire... I was walking down the street and at the fence line of a property was an old man. Well dressed and with a tie. He simply invited me inside for a cup of tea as if he had known me for years. I sat and talked with him and his wife.... He also was a tail gunner on a Lancaster. He talked like you'd talk with somebody about doing some work around the home. As if it was perfectly natural and every day and that it was only a job he did, yet he appreciated that he was lucky to be alive. He talked of his tactics and those of the German pilots who came up behind in their attacks. I listened to him just as I might have sat and listened to my own Father..... An irony is that my own Father was actually in the Luftwaffe.... I never heard him speak of his experiences though but once he exploded for a few moments in absolute anger and hatred towards only one group... The Nazis. Another irony is that my best friend in my school years was the son of an Australian Italian who flew in Britain with the RAF and then returned to live in Australia and to raise a family. A wonderful story to read is that of an American pilot of a B17, Charlie Brown and a German pilot, Franz Stigler, who refused to shoot down his crippled plane as it made its way back across the English Channel after a bombing raid. They became very close friends as old men.

My Mother was a war bride. She lived in London during the war. She met my Father a B17 mechanic at the VE celebration at Trafalgar Square. Brought her from London to a small farm in NW Ohio. Imagine the contrast in lifestyle. Our Sunday dinners of roast beef, Yorkshire pudding would almost always end with stories of the war from both of their experiences. My sisters and I hung on every word and passed those stories on to our children. Didn't realize it at the time because there was no diagnosis, but my mother dealt with PTSD, nothing serious but I remember long stares like she was somewhere else. I know now where she was. Her cousin was a bomber pilot and mentioned that he felt safer in the air as he could see the destruction below and felt for the civilians on the ground.

I was privileged when I was a kid to have some family members who have fought in both World War 1 and World War 2. I never met either of my grandfather's, one of whom did serve in the military during the tail end of World War 1, however, I did meet a brother his and cousins who had fought in that war. The irony is, there was one cousin who was a gas specialist, loading artillery shells. Another one, in the same sector of France, was someone who fired off the artillery, a sergeant. That puts a rather comical image in my mind of one pulling the shells off the truck and handing it to the other so that he could push him in the barrel and poof them off at the Germans. I have talked with men who survived the Bataan Death March, being pows, fighting behind the lines in Normandy, and a variety of other places during the war. One of my mother's Brothers was a pilots in the Pacific during WWII, another was a medical orderly in the units that first took casualties from Normandy and the continent during The Invasion. Another one died in the war, winning the SilverStar while saving his unit and killing a full truckload of Germans. The beauty part is, those Germans were all SS, so bully!

I grew up with a family friend who’s Dad was a navigator/pilot. He told me about dropping special operations executive supplies and operatives into France. They would fly by themselves across the channel in a Lancaster about 30-50ft off the water. When they got to France they were so low the tops of trees would sometimes brush the bottom of the plane. When it was time to drop whatever they were carrying they would go up to drop height kick whatever it was out and then drop back under the radar. All this was done at night without night vision.

Also, us British will forever be grateful for the help you Americans gave us when we most needed it, so we could work together to defeat the axis. We came so close to losing it all and only your support after the Battle of Britain - coupled with the Russians tying his forces down in the East- ensured conclusively that Hitler couldn’t eventually invade.
