I meant the meaning of my words : ''find it and show it to us'' as you thought I don´t belive you. Hope it´s clear now...
Sometime also my English is terrible...

B-17, your comment is coming from the guy who claims he sat in the gunner seat of a Stuka:
>>"i've sat in the rear seat of a Stuka its gun and sight and the cramped back was hard to aim but also it was a dive bombers what do you expect......." http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/avi...ack-11124.html (Ju-87 Stuka vulnerability to fighter attack)
Anything you say will always be held under scrutiny.

Country: | OK, some more pictures.
This is Bedřich "Boris" Kopold, an officer of the 1st Czechoslovak Army Corps in USSR. He was born in 1921 in Ostrava (Mährische Ostrau), Czechoslovakia and in 1939 - as a Jew to - was deported to a labor camp in Nisko, Poland.
He managed to flee to USSR, where he worked two years in various locations as a miner. In 1942, Czechoslovak Battalion was estabilished to fight alongside the Red Army. He joined and went through all campaigns until the very liberation of Czechoslovakia in 1945.
After the Communist Putsch in Czechoslovakia in 1948, although a Communist himself, Kopold was arrested and sent to a forced labor camp for more than five years. He became a professor later.
An interesting fact is that Kopold was a very good friend of Bill Clinton, because Clinton lived at his flat for some time in the 70's. At that time he was just a anonymous student...
I did an interview with Kopold in late 2005, shortly afterwards he passed away.

Country: | Pisis, i hope you do not mind if i post a photo of a friend of mine in your thread.
Ed Pepping was a medic with Easy Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division. Ed was one of the original Toccoa men and parachuted into France on June 6th. Ed was awarded the Bronze Star for actions on June 7th 1944. Ed is a wonderfull man who takes every opportunity to visit schools to talk with young teenagers about the sacrifices that our service members make for our freedom.
Here are some photos of when i brought him to the station to meet some co-workers of mine and one of him at the Normandy Museum. | |
