Going to share this with my husband. He’s particularly obsessed with WW2 era bombers since he flew B-52s. I’ll have to find that BBC doc. Do you have a favorite war flick? We recently rewatched Darkest Hour, which was amazing.
Well, after a tale of great heroism by a young woman, the author throws in a casual bit of sexism at the end that has me so annoyed I can't see straight. I'm one of those World War II obsessives and no, I am not a "him." My father was imprisoned by the Nazis for a year (although we are not Jewish). I was born nine years after the war ended, but the shadow of the war is so dark that it was only last year that I could bring myself to visit Germany for the first time. I was going to ask Mr. Cary for permission to link to this piece from a website I edit, Episcopal Journal and Cafe, but now, frankly, I won't bother.
Sorry you felt that way. It was a joke, rooted in experience that the vast majority of World War Two obsessives are men, and I don’t see that as an especially positive thing. But there we are.
