Re: Veteran Interview Question Guide
Otto
Your advice and outline are excellent in my opinion. As I previously said, I am writing a book about my father's wartime exploits and virtually every item you mentioned is being covered in my book.
One other suggestion, if you are recording wartime history with a veteran, it also helps to do research with respect to their units/squadrons/missions etc. As my father has said so many times during our journey together, "honey, do you know how difficult it is at my age to remember all the details from 63 years ago?" I have found that by providing him with information on various missions, otu's comrades etc., that memories seem to come flooding back.
Kind regards
Leslie
