Already I have mentioned that my dad was an RAF Pathfinder. These were elite flyers, many of whom died. 75 years ago, at the end of the war, he was getting prisoners of war back home and dropping food on the starving people of Holland.
When he went on the Lubeck trip he requisitioned all the newspapers in the mess destined for officers and gave them out to the PoWs. Of course, some had not seen UK newspapers for years!
