Most of my family was killed in WW2 in Germany. The only ones to survive was my grandparents. They lived out side of Cologne on a small farm. All three of my grandmothers brothers we're killed. 2 of them in defense of Germany from Russia.
invasion. And the last from malaria in Africa.
Anyway this is a good book about the tank battle in Cologne. As it turned out my father was born right before the battle. Sorry a little off topic but with the last post of Germany and such it's a little close to home for me as I'm the 1st born from German migrants.
Oh yeah from Crash landings comment.
