There is a book called A Higher Calling. Great read about this story and the respect pilots had for each other on both sides.

Metal band Sabaton did a song about this. I love their stuff, they write songs about the history of war.

Yeah, the narration at the end is fantastic. One of the better music videos I've ever seen.

Adam Makos, the author, is a WW2 military historian and also wrote Spearhead about an armored unit fighting on the Rhine, specifically Cologne in 1944-1945. Recommend it as well.

I guess this shows that even during the hell of war, honorable men were still capable of great acts of compassion- even towards their enemy.
It is good that they were able to meet years later and became genuine friends.
This is another story from that era. Allies during that time- but governments always seem to get in the way. It took a lot of effort for this reunion to take place....Governments could learn from PEOPLE- yet seldom do.
The Soviet dentist-turned POW helped by his American allies
