dxb, my friend Geoff has peeked in here again, and asked me to post that "Antoine deSt-Exupery was shot down over the Mediteranean while flying a reconnaisence mission in an American-built Lockheed Lightning by a German who was reputed to be a great fan of St-Ex's work. History has
such ironies!"
I read in the Reader's Digest from Oct. 2003 the true story of a U.S. Civil War saga. A Southern woman whose husband was a POW up North learned of a Yankee soldier (from Vermont, eta, Flatlander, and dellfarmer!) who'd been wounded and left to die when his company moved out of the Shenandoah valley. At great peril to herself, she nursed him back to health. He was able to get her husband released, and the two families became friends. She was ostracized by her neighbors for years for giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
