Sao I watched a documentary on it last week. It was so shocking, I had no idea. It had lots of footage of the servicemen, might be interesting for you to watch. I think it was on Iplayer.

Oh, wow. Did your dad suffer with any lingering side-effects from it?

Oh my, I am so sorry that your Dad was sent there, Sao. An atrocity.

My dad was in the RAF, WWII, he was a navigator in a tail gunner and did 28 runs. Which was apparently a lot to survive.
