I had read a similar article about this a month ago. It is sad and a dose of reality to realize how much time has passed since the raid and that there are only 4 surviving members of the raid left.

This also reminds me how much WWII still influenced kids like me growing up through the 60’s. Every boy always seemed to do a project or book report on something related to WWII. The school library was full of WWII books that always seemed to have the most checkout dates stamped in them. I tried to draw WWII aircraft and it was the norm to play with the plastic army men (Germans were always gray colored of course). Yes, I even had a plastic toy machine gun or two and fought some tough battles with friends (actually outside. Not on a video game). LOL
I was soooo not PC back then and never knew it. I would be chastised today and thrown to the curb and labled a...you name it? sigh!
