It was most difficult for people to believe that
this happened in a concentration camp.
This is what we were fighting against and
I tell people and I tell kids
when I speak to kids and
they ask me do you have any sorrow
for being in the concentration camp.
And I said no because until I was shot down
my job was strictly, well it wasn't that simple,
my job was to fly over Germany or Europe and
drop bombs to try and remove factories that
produce armament or whatever,
so my job was to try to remove
this nasty scheme,
this nasty machine that overran Europe and
was trying to overrun England.
So I was on this side of it,
now I'm caught up in it.
Now I'm behind the wall,
now I'm within the concentration camp.
Now I am personally witnessing and
experiencing the horrors that went on.
This is what we were fighting against and
nobody knew about it and I would never have
known about it if I hadn't been shot down,
if I hadn't of become involved
with the Gestapo, if I hadn't gotten
involved with the concentration camp,
so I have witnessed both sides of this.
The one side where I was fighting an
enemy who I knew was dangerous, deadly,
very cruel but now I am with them.
I am on the other side looking at how he was
which nobody really knew anything about.
