5,000 Allied airman escaped capture and returned to England with the help of resistance fighters. If captured resistance fighters faced torture and execution or prison camps. One Belgian teenage girl Monique Hanutte helped 140 airmen escape and return to England. She died Feb 20 2022 at age 101.

One rather horrifying fact is that the 8th Air Force lost more men KIA than the Marine Corps did, 26,000 killed. And you know the shit the Marines faced since you're watching the Pacific now.

I think I figured out how the resistance figured out there was an infiltrator. It if you look back he wrote the date as day then month then year whereas most Americans write it out month then day then year. Pretty sneaky. !

"He'll tell you." That's for damn sure 😁 . . . I remember a conversation in the bar at the O Club one place I was stationed with a fighter pilot who was clearly very impressed with himself and his flightsuit (pro tip: if you want to piss off a pilot, call a flightsuit "coveralls.") He told me all about how much the plane they trusted him with was worth, then looked down his nose and asked what they had entrusted me with. I smiled and said, "A couple of dozen human beings." I actually had some good friends who were pilots - others were definitely full of themselves, though most of them outgrew it by the time they were light colonels. The military still hasn't really come to terms with acknowledging PTSD. When I was 18 I was at the scene of a helicopter crash that killed about thirty Marines. I was there all day, helping recover the dead, and it gave me nightmares for twenty years. I can still see one of the bodies as clearly as I saw it then (46 years ago now) and I still can't stand the feeling of having my hands sticky. The attitude of the service at the time was "Just stay busy and don't think about it."
