I doubt he was still smiling when the Russians got him....

Picture is of 1943. Wonder what those boys did. Think being busy in an air raid. The smug guy looks too old for the front at this stage. And being ss was in the western front no garantee to survival. Far from it.

B-17F 42-3051 KY-M of the 305th BG, 366th BS during a raid on Huls June 1943. If I remember correctly, there was a synthetic rubber plant near here, which would have been the target. This particular B17 was sent to the US in May 1944 and was scrapped at the end of the war.

Chinese-American aviatrix Hazel Ying Lee at an air show in Shanghai, China, 24 September 1936; note Shanghai mayor Wu Tiecheng behind Lee. Lee would eventually join the U.S. Army WASPs in 1944, and would be the last the 38 WASPs to die on duty during the war in an accident while ferrying a P-63 Kingcobra aircraft.
