On Friday, one of the last living Czech RAF pilots Kurt Taussig passed away in the age of 96 years.

In fact he was of German/Jewish origin from Sudetenland who was arrested in 1939, escaped as a one of Nicholas Winton's children and fought in RAF against Hitler. Served in 224th Squadron and wanted to join Czechoslovak unit but wasn't admitted due his German nationality.

Rest in peace, sir.
