Fwd: Beyond Mere Luck


Allies come from places we never thought of…..

    This  story is confirmed in Elmer Bendiner’s book,

The Fall of  Fortresses.
*Sometimes, it’s not really just  luck.*   
Elmer  Bendiner was a navigator in a B-17 during WW II.
He tells  this story of a World War II bombing run over
Kassel,  Germany, and the unexpected result of a direct
hit on one of  their gas tanks.
“Our B-17, the Tondelayo, was barraged by  flak from
Nazi anti aircraft guns.
That was not unusual, but  on this particular occasion
our gas tanks were hit.  
Later, as I reflected on the miracle  of a 20 millimeter shell
piercing the fuel tank without  touching off an explosion,
our pilot, John Fawkes, told me it was not quite that simple.

“On the morning following the raid, John had gone down to ask
our crew chief for that shell as a  souvenir of unbelievable luck.
The crew chief told John that  not just one shell but 11 had
been found in the gas tanks.  
Eleven unexploded shells where only one was sufficient to  
blast us out of the sky.
It was as if the sea had been  parted for us.
A near miracle, I thought.
Even after all  these years, so awesome an event leaves me shaken,  
especially after I heard the rest of the story from John.  

“He was told that the shells had  been sent to the bomb
experts to be defused.
The armorers told him that after extensive examination
they could not say why the shells never exploded.
John eventually sought out  the answer.

“Apparently when the armorers opened  each of those shells,
they found no explosive charge.
They  were as clean as a whistle and just as harmless.
Empty?
Not  all of them!
One contained a carefully rolled piece of  paper.
On it was a scrawl in Czech.
The Intelligence people  scoured our base for a man
who could read Czech.   
Eventually they found one to decipher the note.
It was  mind-boggling.
Translated, the note  read:
“This is all  we can do for you now………”*  
“Using Jewish slave  labor is never a good idea.”
Here’s  another kicker for you:  
Imagine the German gunners who  thought they
were missing the plane with those  shells..
