Nazi Captives

Escape from bad performances

After watching the Redskins for as long as I could stomach them, against the Giants, I was in no mood for sissy boys wearing Maryland basketball uniforms getting cornholed by Georgetown bullies.  So, where do we go to escape unpleasant events?  That's right.  The Hitler Channel.  I hadn't missed too much of Shot From the Sky, a docudrama about B-17 pilot Paul Roy Allen's odyssey, after being shot down over France in 1944.  Hidden by a 21 year-old French school teacher, betrayed by French snitch, tortured in Paris by the SS, sent to Buchenwald,  condemned to the crematorium after getting double pneumonia,  etc.  Not a dull moment, and  I recommend it.  If you do watch it, see if you don't agree that the script all but declares some heavy fraternization went on between Allen the the pert little teacher?  I bet the widow Allen caught it.

This is the damnedest thing! I know I watched it, but now I can't find any mention of it on History, History International, Nat Geo, Discovery ... NONE of them. Only the UK site. WTF??

It's on now and will repeat once more at Noon, EST, on the Military Channel. Man of Steel at 10:30 and 4:30 today is also the best look at Stalin I've seen. He made Hitler look like a monk. I can ever look at Beria or Himmler without thinking "Waxman."
