Here's a story about a B 24 that crashed during a raid. Maybe your father flew raids over Norway, too.

He would regularly wake up convinced then-current 1970's reality was some illusory place his mind had gone to in an attempt to escape the horrors, and he was certain at any moment it would dissolve, and he'd find himself being dragged by his captors for another series of tortures. Sheer madness in the world in that time in Asia and the Pacific (excluding Japanese borders with the USSR, after being handed a decisive bloody nose at Khalkhin Gol in 1939, the following nonagression pact was honored by both Japan and the USSR until after V-E Day). He had been through all sorts of treatments including electroshock therapy but nothing ever really worked.
Absolutely true. Pure horror and terror all over the world at that time.allenayres wrote:The Greatest Generation.
