In the final days of 1943, a damaged American B-17 struggled to stay in the air — its crew wounded, its engines failing. Then, out of the clouds, a German fighter appeared. What happened next became one of the most extraordinary acts of mercy in World War II.
This is the true story of Franz Stigler, the Luftwaffe ace who risked his own life to spare Charlie Brown’s crippled bomber, and the silent salute that would echo across history.
Experience one of the war’s most unexpected moments of humanity — when two enemies met in the skies, and chose honor over hatred.
