Thank You Marion!
Christoph, I spoke to a Vet today who was on the Dryden plane. He was wounded but was taken to Lindberg, Germany and did not know anything about Siegburg.
I did however get to ask him about the bombing that Sister Edeltrud referred to. Not the specifics but in general if the English bombed at night, and assuming that the Dec. 28th bombing occurred at night, would they, the bombers, be able to see a big red cross on the roof of a building. He said No - it was pitch black at night.
The gentleman also said the English bombed to break the morale of the people and that is why they bombed cities. Whereas the Americans bombed to destroy anything that helped the German Army.
I talked to him for quite awhile about his experience and that Dec. 23rd, 1944 mission and so forth. He was really impressive for 91 years old!
Christoph, do you have any idea how old the Nun is or how is her health. I guess those are not easy questions to ask.
