The Belgian people would make it's called a hut out in the woods, and I think it's called champagne woods. And not all the Belgian people were, were were underground.
Imagine the terror of being shot out of the sky during World War II. In this gripping episode of 'AbbaDaddy House Girls Speak Out', hosts Annette Smith and Myrna Thatcher sit down with Steve Snyder, the author of 'SHOT DOWN'. The book chronicles the harrowing experiences of Snyder's father, pilot Howard Snyder, and his B-17 bomber crew after their plane was attacked by German fighters on February 8, 1944.
Each crew member's fate varied dramatically—some perished, some were captured and became prisoners of war, while others managed to evade capture and remained missing for months before returning to England. Steve Snyder spent four and a half years researching these incredible stories, not just of the American airmen but also the brave Belgian civilians who risked everything to aid them. This episode is more than a history lesson; it's a tribute to courage, resilience, and the enduring human spirit.
You'll hear about acts of bravery, the stark realities of war, and the unbreakable bonds formed in the face of unimaginable adversity. Whether you're a history buff or someone seeking stories of human triumph over adversity, this episode offers a deeply moving narrative that will stay with you long after it ends.
Annette and Myrna's compassionate interviewing style brings out the emotional depth of these wartime experiences, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in the personal stories behind historical events.
