No I was not mad just a bit irritated, but seems you have a simular background!
My moms dad was in the red army defending the fortress Brest-Litowsk where he fell at the age of 23. My dad´s dad was drafted at the age of 42 because he said something against the nazi party and was sent to the eastern front. He was taken prisoner near Smolensk, and first came home in the early fifties a cripple. I just wanted stated that things like that could have happened anywhere. I am certain if a bomber crew came down right after the Coventry bombing they would have most likely goten a simular reception.
After all one should not forget the civilian population was often a target during bombing raids, so I can very well understand the reactions of those people. I know I would not have very many friendly feelings for some one who tried to kill me. That those crew members where serving their country is in this case not really in the center of attention, as for those people, those crew members where the ones that dropped the bombs so they are responsible, reguardless of who gave the orders. As you certainly will agree there is a bit of a differance if military is fighting military, but when it is civilians on the recieving end, people then think a bit differantly.
