Dead bug!

One of my favorite all time movies.

But why did all four of the kids look so different from each other?
It's like there is no way they could be related.

That last photo has what looks like German text at the bottom of the photo. I have to guess those are POWs. Anyone care to translate the text?

I don't know what that caption says but if you are right, and judging from the high number of medical personnel I'd guess captured at Dunkirk?

The ones they left behind: Never-before-seen German photos offer a haunting glimpse of what happened to 80,000 Allied troops who failed to escape Dunkirk

I've seen that photo before. It's German WW2 POW's being made to watch a film of what was found when the Nazi concentration camps were liberated by the allies.

Thanks!

We recently watched the movie Dunkirk. They pretty much skipped over the fact of the movie and did not mention the 80,000 troops left behind. Those that were rescued were part of an amazing rescue operation.

Watch out!

I met Pat Conroy a few times - he was a friend of a good friends mother.

I have a signed copy of, "My Losing Season".
