Nice tribute❤ thank you. Brother of my grandfather was sgt. Josef Albrecht, air gunner in 311. squadron on Wellington. He was killed in action 17. 10. 1940 after Kiel air raid. Miroslav Čtvrtlík (listed at the end of the video among the fallen) was his friend and lived not far from us. Best regards from Czech republic 🇨🇿🇬🇧

Thank you for the comment. Do you have a connection to the 311 at all?

Unfortunately not, but the topic of Czechoslovaks in the RAF is close to me because I am Czech. I don't know of anyone from my family who served in the RAF. I am glad that thanks to such heroes we can live today.

Hi mate, that's really nice to hear. My videos like this can be a little niche, but hopefully interest some so I love to hear that your dad does thank you.
