Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
Elliot has a tiny problemI thought of this as well. Plus we use the basketball locker interview quotes still frequently
My Oma and Opa hid allied pilots in their attic. My Opa was a senior member of the Dutch underground.
He hid in the river for 3 days from the SS. He nearly died.
My Oma told a story of how she came round into their street one day. My Aunty in the pram. She looked down to their house and saw a heap of SS out the front. She had to stay calm and start fussing with my Aunty in the pram, making it look inconspicuously normal for her to then turn around and walk the other way. It turned out it was my Opa who had scored a heap of SS uniforms. They had been wearing them in the open and she got so angry at him for being too confident and hanging around the house.
I would have had another uncle had the SS not hit my Oma in the stomach with the rifle but.
It has been said my Opa was on first name terms with Eisenhower. He spoke of that to my uncle.
Also when we went to the UK we stayed at a farm near Midsomer SE of Bristol. It had very clear damage to buildings that had been repaired.
My wife’s English Grandmother was telling us how they would watch the dog fights over their farm. Her mum would get them inside and they’d sneak out again. She said how bullet casings would fall from the sky.
It was a beauty.
