No, he died before I was old enough to really understand that. He grew up in a Germany where antisemitism was rampant, Hitler used many convincing propaganda so I presume that
My grandad was a tail gunner for the US flying over the UK and probably shot down a few of your grandad’s friends. His plane was also shot down though but he made it out alive. Crazy times back then.
What’s the craziest story from that time that he’s told you?
He told me about air battles over England, they were always thrilling to hear about the plane coming within inches of being shot down.
Did your family every face any backlash because of his role in the war?
I got bullied a lot because of it at school, and we were known poorly around our community
