The Forgotten 500: The Untold Story of the Men Who Risked All For the Greatest Rescue Mission of World War II by Gregory A. Freeman

4.0

4.25. I recently learned about my great-Uncle’s WW2 experiences and after doing some Internet sleuthing realized he was one of the downed airmen in Yugoslavia. He was part of the 40 airmen rescued in May 1944. Although he was a bit before the official Mission I felt like the rescue of these downed airmen and the acts of the Serbian people events he would have experienced firsthand. Imagine my surprise to see him listed as one of those rescued (J.L. Camara). also feel like my knowledge of the Balkans history is sorely lacking so this book also made me want to learn more.
