Ernst "Ernie" Feibusch was a waistgunner on a B17 who survived 24 harrowing bombing missions, including Berlin, Merseberg, Schweinfurt and Regensburg. But it was his 25th mission to Stuttgart, Germany that had the greatest impact. Flak damage to the engines made it impossible to get back to England. They had to make it to Switzerland. Why? Because Ernie was Jewish and German - born outside Berlin. Bailing out over Germany was not an option. Listen to him - WARNING: Ernie uses very "colorful" language - describe getting over the Rheine and crashing in Switzerland.
