Nazi General Dies of Heart Attack (Patreon)

This week at TimeGhost we are an extremely busy beehive. Our next shooting session is in less than a weeks time and we're all working around the clock for an action packed November. That next shooting session will be the first time that will have me (Ian) in Germany, after a long pandemic of not being able to travel, so it's exciting for the team to be coming closer together. Perhaps there will be some behind the scenes content from TimeGhost Army HQ?

As is becoming a tradition with these posts, we'd like to share something sent in by a TimeGhost Army member, this time from TsunBaka. They sent us in a message about discovering the remains of their great grandfather's aircraft from the Second World War, and their story really reminded us about our love for history and resurrecting a connection to the past.

See you next week!

Hey their Indy and team, first off I'd like to really thank you guys for inspiring me into pursuing a history course in uni course, I'm also volunteering at the Australian National Maritime Museum Sydney, (I'm a massive fan of Destroyer type vessels). Also for inspiring me into seeking out information of my own family history, cause boy do I got a story to tell. My great-grandfather served in Bomber Command as a Navigator during WW2, he was shot down over Germany during a raid on Berlin in February of 1944, where he was put into a camp called Stalag Luft III *sound familar* He was according to hi, he just missed out on escaping with the rest *thank god* and lived out the rest of the war as a P.O.W. Now this is where things get interesting on my end because Great-Grandpa always claimed to be the navigator of an Avro Lancaster, however in pictures given to me by my family that where of his plane I noticed they didn't match up with the Lancaster and more looked as though it was actually a Handley Paige Halifax Mk. III, this lead me down rabbit hole in which lead me to finding the designation of his aircrat that being HX336. Finding this lead me to find the crash site of my not only the crash site of his craft and the causes of it, but also in my own astonishment pieces of his aircraft for sale... now I'll freely admit I was a little too late to purchase the items but it's none the less really emotional I'd say to be able to point at a piece of metal somewhere in Germany and say my Great-Grandpa helped to point that bird in the direction she needed to go.  His name was Patrick Shine, and even if I didn't get my hands on the pieces none of this would've been possible if it weren't for the awe-inspiring and truly captivating History content you lot make.
