German Pilot Spares a B-17....unites after the war

I was moved by the emotions this story provides showing the compassion of a German Pilot towards his enemy in the skies. http://www.warhistoryonline.com/war-articles/german-pilot-in-wwii-spared-an-american-b-17-pilot-over-germany-only-to-reunite-40-years-later-and-become-fishing-buddies.html#at_pco=smlre-1.0&at_si=54c844d2012edd9e&at_ab=per-12&at_pos=2&at_tot=4

 

There is a great book on this incident called A Higher Call. One of the best WWII books I have ever read. Have you read it? I highly recommend it

 

Well damn. That hit me right in the feels. My eyes got a little blurry by the end of that story. Thanks for sharing.

 

It definitely was a moving incident. And thank you for sharing this with us Victor.

 

I will be trying for an audiobook.....thanks for letting me know there was one written.
