So glad I found this channel, and thanks for posting it! Some kids were even shipped to North America to escape the threats posed at that time. (I read a book by one who was sent to Akron, Ohio that way. 10 years old, I think, he found it an adventure.) The great events of life and history are left to mundane people to write about, but the mundane day-to-day life that meanwhile transpires during those events gets overlooked unless characters like you speak up. Cheers for doing so!

fascinating video, i didnt know that picture houses would just show films on a reel repeatedly, and its astonishing that such a dogfight could be seen by your younger self.

I love this. I remember sitting with my own grandfather and hearing stories from when he was a boy and in the army. I think the passing down of stories like this is so important. Thank you!

Grandpa that must have been so difficult. so scary to be seperated from your parents and siblings. Not only for you but for your parents.
