My late uncle used to tell the true story of when he was at an American airbase in the South of England watching the returning B17's coming in from a raid on Berlin. He happened to pass a bomber on the tarmac that was full of bullet holes and one of the crew, a gunner, was walking along the wing having a look see. So my uncle knowing full well where they had been for something to say, asked the gunner where they had been. A puzzled look appeared on the brave man's face and the reply came "....dunno Mac, what's that country called next to France? I will go and ask the Captain---", and he did!
