Unbelievable WWII Story: What Happened Between Charlie Brown and Franz Stigler? P1 @CbassProductions

Part 1
The Charlie Brown and Franz Stigler incident occurred on 20 December 1943, when, after a successful bomb run on Bremen, 2nd Lt. Charles “Charlie” Brown’s B-17F Flying Fortress Ye Olde Pub of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) was severely damaged by German fighters. Luftwaffe pilot Franz Stigler escorted the Americans out of German air space, enabling the B-17 to continue on to a safe landing in England. Both men survived and would find each other many decades after World War II

The story of Charlie Brown and Franz Stigler is one of the most remarkable stories of World War II. It is a story of two men who were supposed to be enemies but instead became friends. The story is about how two men from different sides of the war were able to put aside their differences and see each other as human beings

It's an edit off of @CbassProductions it's a fantastic story of humanity.

Franz was the guest of honor at a reunion. A reunion where he was introduced to all the families born from this one act of mercy

[augustusyancy]

the fact that Franz had the guts to do this is incredible like imagine what his Superior officer told him when he got back

[reayonghala]

Das wäre sein letzter benötigter Abschuss für das Ritterkreuz gewesen, er hat sich für die Menschlichkeit entschieden. Im Krieg keine Wahl, er hat sie sich genommen...Respekt.

Even during time's of war there is still humanity left

I thank Franz Stigler for sparing the life of those people on that bomber. I respect him for that action..

Franz Stigler remembered that we all have families to go home to. Love to all the victims of WW2.❤❤

This is as heartwarming as the Christmas Truce

[kekekeke]

A true man doesn't fight because he hates what's in front of him but because he loves what's behind him, any man who understands this can respect another who does.

Goes to show you don't have to do what the government tells you to do.

His superior ordered his men not to shoot at defenseless aircraft if they did, he would shoot them too

Franz is a angel in a crowd of demons.

Wir deutschen sind nicht böse. Wir sind stolz und haben Ehre 😊 und das hat sich nie geändert
