I hope the search and findings gave the son some sort of closure. ❤
What angers me the most is that during the entirety of the war Churchill had nothing but praise for the bomber boys and at the end of the war he was outright hostile to them and in all honesty all they did was what Arthur Harris told them to do and his marching orders came from Churchill
I thank you all for your service and for giving us are freedom. My you all rest in peace .GOD BLESS ❤❤❤
I am so sorry for your loss. At least you had some sort of closure. I'm a little sad that the German pilot that shot your dad down didn't seem to have much empathy for you and the loss of your dad. Your father was a very brave man. It's also a shame he didn't fly the Lancaster as it showed it was a plane far superior to the other. I understand that the German pilot was following orders, but the orders were given by a mad man. You were brave yourself to face him and ask his side of what happened. I also don't think I could marry a German woman.
My grandfather used to cry in his garden shed when i was very young because I used to ask about his medels. Been very young i would pester him and he never really told me much not until i was much older. only when he was in the last couple of years of his life did he share with me some of his stories. We went to the D-day celebrations together in 1995. I know he found it hard when we went to visit the grave yards in France where his friends are buried. Great documentary.
What a lovely and yet sad story. The loss of people was terrible, but what an amazing journey you've been on to learn who your dad was.
Wow…thank you for sharing your Father's story and your story too. I was humbled beyond belief when you were picking up parts of your father's Halifax. Simply amazing…I hope you kept those artifacts? Lest we forget…these brave and members of the greatest of generations.
Thanks for sharing this fascinating personal perspective on the folly of war. May the families involved in these many countries find deep peace and comfort in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace.
You're Dad would be proud that you found him. At least you found your 'part'. Well done you. I hope you found what you were looking for.
Hi, why don't language Persian thanks 🙏🙏 good luck 🌹🌹❤❤
To watch this story exactly 80 years after the day of the crash and from Berlin gives this a very special touch. Thank you for sharing.
The son honored his father and crew by going the distance to find a ship lost approaching the target.
The crater made long ago with the massive depth and width is startling….
the bits and pieces of a crewman Oxygen hose…
then staring into the remorseless man who extinguished their lives….
as the dead soil speaks of the mission at hand ..
Empty and confusing it all seems…..
yet you honored that crew and that is in and of itself humbling….
remember from an old Bomber Plot told to me as you consider the surreal insanity of it all, and the terrible waste, and the fella who lived a full live having taken part of your own……

Beautiful production
Such an amazing well made video. I have family in Canada. A lot of Canadian heroes left from Gosport, England and never came back after DDay.
Ibwill never know my father or his side of family. I do know they were veterns of these tradgic events.
Very well done. My father was lost on a mountainside in Vietnam the month before I was born. Several years ago I went to Vietnam and landed on the runway that he had taken off from on that final mission. It was one of the most emotional moments of my life. I found myself wiping away the tears quite frequently as you told your story. To hold pieces of his aircraft…I can’t imagine the feelings. God bless

Justin “peoplekind” Trudeau has destroyed the country these brave men fought for
A very moving account. I thank God that my father flew two tours of operations as an RAF pilot with 61 Sqn. 5 Group, Bomber Command and survived to tell the tale. All aircrew were volunteers and knew the risks. We owe them a very great debt and should never forget the sacrifice so many made to help rid Europe of Nazi domination. God bless them, every one…
Poor deluded souls.
Fought for nothing.
Died for nothing.
And on it goes…..

very brave men,war is so sad.
So you sit at the table with the man that had to kill your father.
Brutal.
For each crew member, every mission was like D day in the air (only worse) again and again
What amazing and courageous young men populated the WWII generation! Anyone who takes the time to pay careful attention to this prescient video which must have been very tedious and expensive to make will observe that the soldiers, sailers, airmen and Marines of the various allied forces must have been the absolute toughest fighting men in history!
God bless the memory of your father and also the brave men who fought and died during the fight against fascism and tyranny! Collectively; we must all hope and pray that the efforts of these men will yet have some bearing upon the various efforts made against those same evils, which still exist today.
Lord, that was so sad. Wonderful that this son found peace in the journey. And imagine what went through the mind of the retired pilot who returned to his seat 50 years later…
May God bless all of these brave men, and their families.
How did they adjust navigation for crosswinds ? Being blown off course ? What have u got ? A compass bearing , and terrain map below ? Surely u could be blown off course by a matter of hundreds of miles ???
This is so well done. Your father would be so proud of you. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Lest We Forget.🇨🇦
Thank you for this moving testament to your father and his crew. My father was a navigator on Lancasters in 1944, and was also tasked to Berlin in February of that year. Happily he survived the war, and lived till he was 72. Like so many, he said very little about his war service, which I researched only after his passing.
wow
