Being 67 years old I knew right away you were talking about Joe and John Kennedy. I learned Joe died in grade school history but I was taught he was shot down. I never learned the real story. Thank you for schooling an old woman in WWII history.

They were never targeting civilians. The artillery shells Churchill knew about never had the capacity to reach the planes that took out factories. Instead the shells arched and landed on civilian housing. Churchill knew they never made their target and continued to shell his own civilians "for morale" as if the Germans were doing it.

I think the most tragic story from the Kennedy family (yes, more tragic than Joe's, John's, and Robert's deaths) is the horrifying case of Rosemary, how she was actually kept from being born for two hours until the doctor arrived (her mother's legs were kept crossed to keep Rosemary from going through the birth canal), that resulted in a dangerous lack of oxygen, leading to her having development issues. She had a very difficult time growing up, culminating with Joseph Kennedy's decision to have her get a lobotomy when she was 23, utterly destroying her life. Besides this, her mother didn't visit for 20 years and Joseph Kennedy never saw her again. They lied to their other children about her whereabouts and they didn't find out about her until after their father suffered a stroke in 1961. All-in-all, it was a tragedy of the Kennedy family's making and to me what happened to Rosemary was diabolical

For anyone that is wondering, vengeance weapons, are actually the V-1 fly bombs (buzz bombs) which were launched from the French coastline and had preprogrammed flight paths to crash into major population centers, ultimately the V-1 wasn't a huge success and was discontinued for the more versatile V-2. The V-1 was the world first cruise missile , the V-2 was the worlds first ballistic missile.

@Bearwithme560 Месяц назад

My father was an unknown hero, along with his fellow Danes, who risked his life several times hiding Jewish Danes on fishing boats to safety in Sweden during WWII. He also had a "hit" on his life by the SS for spying. None of this we knew of growing up. I only found out when l visited Denmark and was told by my incredulous cousins who assumed he would have told us. My observation has been that true heroes say little about their deeds, many of which must have involved difficult choices.

Interesting story Mr Ballan I love watching you’re videos that are getting me through the grief of the loss of 2 friends within a week both in 40s and also my grandfather was an SAS Soldier in WW11 he also survived capture of the Germans for 9 months! Tough old war dog. He lives until age 74 and was one hell of a man. I’m sure as a fellow ex soldier you’d understand. My other grandparents were born in 30s and lived throughout ww11 although they were in Scotland unfortunately they bombarded Clydebank where our ports were and ammunition, fortunately my grandparents were tough and all got through it which is why I am here today. My father is now almost age 74 we lost him in 1994 when I was, my fathers father he is now the age in which his military father passed. Ea a tough old work horse himself, He still works as an hgv driver and a part time rock n roll star as he likes to say as a drummer. They were younger my other grandfather was born 1919. He ultimately was in normal platoon but then he was blown up sent home from shell shock and said bo and reenlisting within the brand new SAS parachute regiment ❤️ He was a decorated man….thank you for you’re stories they always help to take our minds from of the chaos that is today.
