German WW2 pilot says sorry for 1942 church bombing
82 year old Wiili Schludecker now living in Cologne, Germany is making a pilgrimage to StAndrew's Church Northumberland England to say sorry for bombing this church with his Dornier 215 bomber in 1942.
Attacked by RAF fighters over Northumberalnd, England, Herr Schludecker jettisoned his bombload and damaged the church with his bombs after takingoff from Holland on April 30th 1942.
I take my hat off to you Herr Willi!.
However, also this week the artist son of a British Lancaster bomber pilot who bombed Dresden in 1945 prsented the city of Dresden with a cross which will sit on top of Dresden's ancient kirke which was damaged in the 1945 raid-so the spirit of reconciliation is mutual. PS One of Herr Willi's bomb craters was converted into a duckpond post-war.
