Les Loken, veterano de guerra

[Ernst Barkmann]

Hola a todos !!

Acabo de descubrir en Youtube un interesante material. 5 videos ( de momento ) donde un veterano de guerra de la SGM narra sus vivencias.

Les Loken es un anciano de 94 años, es un veterano de la SGM y combatió contra el Japón. De momento sólo he podido ver uno, pero reconozco que me he emocionado. Una historia viviente.

Los videos, logicamente, son en inglés.

Les Loken, a 94 year old World War Two veteran (still alive today) remembers what he was doing on December 7, 1941, when he first heard that Pearl Harbor was bombed.

94 year old WW2 vet, Les Loken, tells about his experience in the Pacific as a Colonel in the 13th Army Air Force. His memory also goes back further, to when he and his father went to meet his uncle returning from WW1, and before that when the first airplanes were a "miracle" in the sky

Les Loken continues the story of his WW2 experience, as an advisor to Japan after the War, and his close friendship with a former Japanese commander who fought in the same Pacific arena where he fought during the war.

Muy bueno Ernst.
Lástima que el inglés no sea mi fuerte, pero se entiende bastante.
