Does anyone know where I can find some more info on Dulag Luft? I googled but I didn’t get much. I have seen the ww2 training film about it though, that video is so cool it’s like a movie with a plot a shit but it still gives instructions to those watching. I love all those ww2 movie/instructional films

I did a little research and it looks like vicious camp guard Big Stoop was killed immediately after the camp was liberated. Then a couple of G.I.'s excitedly displayed his head in a bucket to everyone around to prove Big Stoop was dead.

These men have incredible stories and It will become more important for our citizens to hear them as time goes on. But all of their memories and stories would be lost forever if it werent for you, Sir. I can tell that you enjoyed conducting these interviews just as much as I enjoyed hearing them. Outstanding work!

This gentleman bombed Nuremberg. My mother was an 18-year-old girl working for the Reichsbahn (German Railroad). After the air raids they had to walk along the raildroad tracks to find the damaged places. Afterwards each time the soles of her shoes were burnt so much that she could throw them away... The allies did not only use napalm and phosphor against in battle against German fortresses but also against civilians on a scale that had no one done before. Maybe Mr Singer still remembers the load of his B 17 on his mission to Nuremberg...

My father's friend was a German 109-Pilot in 1944. Outnumbered as they only could be they had to fight the Bombers Killing German civilians without a limited number of Missions. They flew until they a wooden or Iron Cross. He was shot down twice in 1944 . After the German surrender on May 7, 1945, He took his plane with the Last fuel , flew home, landed behind American lines and was Not taken prisoner.

Now these men are BRAVE...just blows my mind. How do you get in an airplane, knowing you are probably going to die. How??? Or end up a POW and getting torched to death. Not many people will do just that.

I am James Bowler’s eldest grandchild. Somehow, I’m just learning of this interview, and am forever grateful this video was made. I’ll certainly reach out to the creator. Grampy Jim was an amazing man…smart as a whip, thoughtful, patient, and kind. Jim was attentive and loving. He raised 6 children, and many grandchildren after me. He loved and cared for his wife Ruth his entire life, after re-entering civilian life.

My sincere thanks to all these brave men. The generation who got it done. There was no we can’t do this. They were tenacious, creative, and never thought they couldn’t get it done. I call them the “can do” generation. Nothing like the whiners today, that eat half of what door dash brings, then throw out what’s left, because they don’t eat leftovers. Thirty years old with no driver’s license, no job, no future.
