This is the soldier who was on guard duty at Pegasus Bridge when the gliders came down. He fired his flare gun and ran and hid. It was a very sensible course of action, in my opinion. His story from the BBC: link |

In the face of overwhelming force, it was the only sensible thing he could have done. |

I once read a story about German P.O.W who were in a prison camp in Mississippi working the cotton fields. They were guarded by black US soldiers. When lunch time came, the dinner owner allowed the Germans inside to eat, but the black US soldiers had to eat outside in the back! How crazy is that? |
