On this day 1944, June 7th the story of little girl during war.
When she was little, she lived near the sea (still does) in Belgium. She could not remember the exact dates but thinks it was in late noon on 7th of June 1944 (she wasnt sure about it thought.
There was a railway track next to a big lower field where kids often played (and a lot of them) So as they where playing a German train slowly drives by (from the nearby station) and while they where driving slowly past, they opened up fire for no reason whatsoever. Rifle's smg's mg's.
A lot of kids died then and there for no other reason then "revenge" on the allied invasion of France.
Leter she told me another story : She was playing when she heard an air raid alarm so she and others ran towards a tunnel (not far behind it was a factory complex) And she saw allied planes diving until she could see the white of the eyes of the pilot and when all kids where under the bridge they dropped thier loads on that factory (no kid was hurt to her knowledge) And she said to me .
I am convinced they waited until the very last moment so we could run to safety. She did not know exactly wich plane it was other then it was a 2 engined fast aircraft (something like a Mosquito i guess? We'll never know sadly). But yeah, that's her 2 story's of the war.
And yet, all that happening (my grandparents had shome sh1tty moments too) They always told me when i was young : don't feel hatred.
Those where the bad Germans, there where a lot of normal and friendly Germans too. Thx for reading.
