I understand the WWII veterans' reluctance to talk about their experiences but a lot of history was lost with their passing.

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Glad you have the CD. It is a wonderful compilation of very interesting facts and figures and must have been a labor of love. My cousin didn't talk much about his experiences for many years, but I did spend some time with him at a family party and he did tell me quite a bit at that time. Unfortunately, he died not long after. He didn't tell me that his crew participated in the first raid on the Schweinfurt ball bearing factories. I learned of this on the Molesworth CD. Harvey |
