The book detailing this story is incredible and well worth reading. Even in the worse circumstances the human spirit can overcome.

OMG! This is the story I read about at the Champlin Air Museum out in Phoenix!
What’s the chance I would see someone post about it? Because outside that one time 25 years ago, I hadn’t heard it since!
As it is, this chalks up there with the 1914 Christmas! Germans really aren’t all bad, are they?

A beautiful story.
Where has honor gone?

Great story. Though the picture of the Stuka is a bit puzzling since we’re talking about a 109 and a B-17.
