S!
No one who was born in the last 30 years will ever really know or understand what it was like to be there.
Either to be in the shoes of the young men from the Allied side or the German. These 19-25 year old kids.
The largest air battles in the history of warfare were fought then, with a violence and fury which has never been seen since.
The bravery and determination shown by both sides, whether misguided on the German side or not, has to be admired.
As someone who lives in North America, in a democracy, I am in permanent debt to those U.S., British, Canadian, Polish, French, Czech, etc. pilots who stood up and were willing to sacrifice all to save the world from a madman who had hoodwinked the people of a brave nation into doing his perverted bidding.
SALUTE TO THOSE WHO DIED AND THOSE WHO FOUGHT!
