Real Men
My step father helped liberate Dachau. Brought home a a piece of Hitler's fireplace from the Eagles's Nest.
I used to lunch with a former bomber pilot flying out of Iran to bomb Ploiești oil fields in Romania. His craft was shot down and he spent weeks with partisan fighters trying to get him back to safety. Flying didn't scare him, but one night they stopped at a German airfield to count planes. He was worried as he was in peasant clothes making him a spy.
