That's remarkable. I had heard of this story years ago and seen the painting, but I never knew the story. We will most likely never witness this degree of chivalry, or any chivalry for that matter ever again. Much respect.

Iam truly inspired by this story, it gives Me a good feeling inside.
Human compassion knows no race.

It's hard to believe it now, but there was a time when there was honor in war.... this is proof of that.

So the German pilot then just flew back to his own airbase?

Compassion, guts and chivalry indeed. Very inspiring story. Sad that both men are no longer with us.

The most amazing story and video I've seen a long time. Buying the book for sure. There should be a movie Mr. Spielberg.
