dly, we’ve lost another of our 389th Bomb Group veterans: James McGahee flew as navigator on Sack Time Sally and was shot down by ME109’s on November 26, 1943. With the help of brave Dutch Resistance helpers he was able to evade capture before being betrayed to the Gestapo. He was then made a POW until the end of the war. To find out more about his story and return to the Netherlands after the war, please read the article written in 2011 by Johan Kuiper

Children who were born before the war and spent time in Holland – specifically near Amersfoort – are sought for a new educational oral history program entitled “Children from Then.” In this project people who were born before WW2, were children or teenagers during the war and lived in Amersfoort are interviewed. In this way the project directors hope to pass on history and the lessons learned to today’s children.
The project has already interviewed 40 Dutch childen of the time, but is seeking German children who relocated with their parents during the war. They are also looking for young German soldiers who served in Amersfoort or the vicinity.

Kinder, die vor dem Krieg geboren waren und mit ihren Eltern in Holland waehrend des Krieges wohnten, besonders in der Naehe vom ‘Polizeiliches Durchgangslager Amersfoort’ (PDA) werden gesucht. Ein neues Projekt “Kinder von Damals” sucht Zeitzeugen, die waehrend des Krieges als Soldat oder Kind eines Soldates in Amersfoort teilweise aufgewachsen sind.
