I recall reading about a British pilot in Bomber Command who in the 70s began a campaign to repair a cathedral and/or the stained glass windows in Germany. It was in Readers Digest back then so I'm afraid my memory is not clear on all the details.
Amazing gestures that no one expected to be made. Courageous, and I hope he found the peace for which he was looking.
