Yea - it'd be both ways... for those on the ground... and those in the plane afraid of getting shot out of the sky. I think being in the plane would be scarier... if you're hit there's really only one way to go. At least on the ground you can hide/ go underground. Hard to imagine the terror these men must have felt.
I can’t believe how belligerent people can be in these remarks. There’s absolutely no need to berate someone and call them a liar just because you don’t believe what they said. Just move on! I fell asleep very quickly listening to this last night and I don’t care about all the rest. I like to read comments sometimes because people reveal interesting insights in them once in a while. It made me think about how that sound could trigger some terrible memories in some, most of whom are not with us anymore. Two of my brothers have experienced that from Vietnam. The comment about the pictures in fact was totally believable, the Nazis were known to be pretty brutal after all. It doesn’t reflect on the German people today, it was a sad episode of their history.
Every vintage multi radial engine aircraft I've been up in, including the B17, rattled more with a louder wind rush but I can see how that could detract here.
a man is flying a combat mission over Europe. He gets shot down and has to bail out. He breaks both his legs, is captured by Germans, then taken to a POW camp. The first week they have to amputate his right leg. He asks one of them "After you're done, can you have one of your pilots fly my leg over my base in England and drop it there?", so they do it. The next week they have to cut off his other leg. And he asks them again "Could you please have someone drop this off over my base in England?", and they do it! The third week, the have to cut off his arm, so he asks them again. This time, the german says "Nein! Dis ve can't do anymore!" And he asks "Why not?". And the german says "Ve think yoo are trying to escape!"
