This was pretty common, especially among paratroopers. Paratroopers got a reserve parachute that was usually white silk as opposed to the camo pattern that was on their main, so many would take them home to their sweethearts.

Her story tugged at my heart. I was there with her in 1944 when she met her soon to be husband washing clothes. Talk about the good that came out of this war and their happy life together for 76 years that followed. Wow! What hell she and her family endured during their German occupation and to get George back at the end. Blessed, truly blessed.

A stellar episode once again; she is so beautiful and excellent storyteller, too. Reminds me of my lovely grandma and her stories about her life during WWII. Grandma passed away ten years ago (born in 1925). She experienced the WWII and German occupation as well as a young girl. It was common that civilians had relationships and babies born with German soldiers at that time in Finland, Europe. The Germans where not generally accepted everywhere, depending on the region. Thank you so much for your hard work and the series!
