Lucky Strike
During WW II, tens of thousands of young American airmen were sent to Great Britain to be part of the liberation of Nazi-occupied Europe. After some raids, and badly hit by German anti-aircraft guns or fighter planes and with no possibility of returning to home base, some of the crews tried to save themselves by heading to Sweden. Many died when they crashed into the frigid waters of the Baltic Sea, but more than 1,200 American airmen succeeded in reaching security. These young U.S. airmen caused a sensation, creating bonds of friendship and sometimes of love. Seventy years after the war, Swedish author and filmmaker Jan-Olof Nilsson searched for and met those on both sides of the Atlantic, eager to hear their voices and their stories at last.
