One thing is for sure Jack, most people on this forum will understand you. Having studied WWII for decades will never bring me as close as those who were on the field, but at least we're in the same dimension. Your family can be proud of you. How many sons, nephews , grandsons are doing research about their parents because they could never get to the point of sharing such terrible thoughts. You have the courage to do so. This is actually quite rare.
I know I am thanking you once again, but rather too many times than not enough, especially because you are not eternal and a precious witness of this Great Generation.
