My dad was a tail gunner in a B-24 and shot down over Germany. He only knew to bail out when he saw his pilot fly by. He managed to bail out but one of his friends went down with the plane. Ended up stuck in a tree and captured by 12-year olds with rifles. Spent 7 months in Stalag Luft III. In the end, when the Americans were on there way to liberate the camps, he said the German guards had already stacked their guns up. Everyone was starving. My dad was down to 85 lbs. Spent another year in the Army Air Corp. getting his health back before they let him come home.
It's sad that we are too young to care about our grandparents stories until we are middle-aged adults and would love to hear them being told and the experiences had.
My great grandfather was a German-Jewish man in WW2 and was forced to flee from Frankfurt, he was then in the military, a simple but helpful Radioman, went on to own a business and is 100 as of this November.

You have never talked about Northern Africa soldiers that you put to the frontline, including from Senegal
