    Sgt Ronald David Baker was my uncle. Thank you for making this video. It is nice to hear that he and his fellow airman are not forgotten. ❤

      I'm so sorry I'm only seeing this now. This is EXACTLY why I started this series. I plan to pick it back up again, as well. It makes my day to see wren there is a personal connection made online like this. I'm honoured to have been able to commemorate one of the Few whom is to you one of your own. Memory eternal!

    My Moms family lived in Orpington Kent .. south of London .. the blitz was bad but the children were evacuated for the V weapons blitz …. The last V-2 launched at England, landed on Orpington… Tough times my grandmother said and that was the only thing I ever heard her complain about ..

      I know the area well; I have acquaintances in Sevenoaks and the motorway would take me through there if we were heading into or out of London. Being right next to Biggin Hill, I could imagine that they went from bearing the brunt of the second third of the Battle of Britain, once the raids went from shipping and ports to airfields, to being left alone once again after it shifted to bombing London around the City and downstream towards the docks. When the enemy shifts priorities, so does the group bearing the worst of their gristle. Are you still in the area?

I'm Acadienne but have lived in the US for most of my adult life, but as a Bandy I got to visit plenty of England and I later went back to do work there for a bit. Being of Irish and Francophone stock on my mum's side made me feel like one among the enemy a mite at first, but I made friends right quick. Biggin Hill is a great visit if you do get to go!

      According to the Venona documents, both President Curry (19), who promoted these anti-Japanese policies, and White, the Director of the Monetary Research Bureau of the Ministry of Finance (20), were Soviet spies.
      Thus, in December 1941, the US-Japan War broke out.

The Soviet Comintern's strategy of using the United States to crush Japan became a reality 21 years later.
      As described above, the Venona documents, the Comintern documents, the confidential documents of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, etc. became public, and the Roosevelt administration, which used the Comintern, the Chinese Communist Party, and "Soviet spies" as important, before and during the war.

    It's pronounced TEMS, not TAMES, and spelled Thames. This is important if y'all want to have credibility here.

      I thought I pronounced it "tems". That's the only way I know to pronounce it, so It's odd for me if I didn't. Thanks for pointing that out!
