Reply to comment by heresmytwopence in Kids in France during WWII. Photo taken by my dad that I had never seen until yesterday. The kids look like from the movie “The Sandlot” or “Goonies”. by sdtriathlete
I live in Normandy and did some historical touristing in the vincinity. Lemme tell you a story: after the fall of Falaise Pocket (Aug 1944), where 10000 germans, thousands of horses (and the local iconic cows), hundred of vehicles were obliterated, air soil and water were so polluted kids as young as 5 were given cigarettes and alcoholic cider in order to bear the stench and stay "hydrated". Fields, woods, were so saturated with destroyed military hardware authorities granted "mining" rights for scrappers in order to clean the country.

Therefore fueling the conspiracy theory denying anyone got past LEO because of radiation risk during flight to the moon.
Edit : I've seen the downvotes ! Just reporting things I've heard, for my part I'm a huge space nerd. Apollo 9 mission badge is on my fridge.

The only good thing is now she's forever young and beautiful.
Every other aspect sucks. Poor kids, so small :(
