My British mom (84, with dementia now) still cries when she talks to me about these airmen and how many died. She lived on the SE coast with a view of France during WW II (except when she was evacuated to Scotland) and she saw some things. Like a parachuter who did not make it.

The pain of WW II is still fresh for some old people.

God bless her. Your last sentence “The pain of WW2 is still fresh for some old people.” As the winds of war and saber rattling become more pronounced, we should listen much closer to those who lived it like your mum. History does repeat itself if we decide not learn from the past.
