The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

The Kassel Mission-- Part 5: Overcame Reluctance

Ira Weinstein was reluctant to go to Germany with the others, but did.  he came back with a different point of view.  They saw the memorial near Bad Hersfeld.  Linda Alice Dewey said that Weinstein "was dumbfounded over the welcome he received from Walter Hassenpflug, a boy who had witnessed the falling men and planes that day, and other Germans he met when he was there.  Their open-hearted friendliness amazed him."
