Memories from WWII, when I was 14 years old in high school and on the flat roof top of our school, where we had school break eating our brown bag lunches, about two miles from where the French school unfortunately was bombed. We saw the planes flying very low above our heads and pilots waving to us. I’ll never forget it, see the video link and link to the whole story of history!!!

That must have made for an eventful day. How far were you from the target? Did you get to witness any of the raid itself.

Thank you so much for this post. You really jump-started today's thread. The operation against Gestapo headquarters accomplished the mission, but what a cost!

I have added this incident to the timeline so we can revisit it on March 21, 2015. If you don't mind, danamco, I will ping you if we get any interesting Denmark-related items.

Also, I wonder if you have communicated at all with blackie. We heard from him a couple weeks ago and he revealed he turned 10 years old in October of 1940. If you were 14 in March of '45 that makes you about the same age. I don't imagine your experiences were similar in any way, but at least you followed the events from the same age perspective.
