I bought a coffee table book that showed my grandparents town in Germany before and after the bombings. I sat down with my grandma who was only a little girl at the time. She pointed to a photo of rubble and told me that was where her school was. She was 7 and her and her friend had the wherewithal to soak their dress aprons in water to make a mask to try and run home to find their mom’s in the bunker. 7 years old. After the war she said one school in the town remained standing and they all took turns going in shifts. It really changed my perspective on the civilian side.
The worst part is I’m sure he was thinking if he had only been there he could have somehow changed their fate. Reality being he would have probably joined them

Nobody wins in a war. Everybody loses.
