I speak of those in the camps. I speak of those who had no weapons to defend themselves. I speak of those who knew their fate and those who lost loved ones for no reason.
Sometimes you do not need a gun or a plane to be a hero.

If I had to pick one person, my Grandpa. B-17 Navigator. Shot down over Germany, busted up his face on the bail out. Walked through Germany for 2 weeks before being captured. Spent a while in POW camp until war ended. He does not like to talk about it.
To wake up my father,,was pretty risky,you had to back off a few
feet,untill he knew where he was.
