Franz Stigler - Post# 829
Franz Stigler!
What a story! A man of honour!
Sorry guys but I do hope it was just the red wine that made me wipe a tear when I read that story!
I am sure that this man slept well with his conscience in his latter years with that particular memory of his war.
Are there similar stories from Junkers pilots over England?
(Please don't answer in the context of right or wrong, sides etc, but in the context of humanity.)
There was so much lost by all sides during those horrible times - WW1 and 2 - I am sad that I did not listen as much to tales such as yours, Cliffnemo and Regle, as much as I should have when I was younger.
Men (and women) that would stand up to the plate and face whatever would be delivered. But back then I guess I took it for granted then that you guys would always be around.
Thank you.
