    My grandfather helped your grandfather by going up in untested fighter planes with the pilots and checking to make sure none of the bolts were loose.

    He was also an air raid warden in London, meaning he was out on the streets getting people to safety while the bombs were dropping.

    I wish I had an ounce of that man’s courage… although, being both Jewish and German, he knew exactly what had to be stopped.
