My great grandfather used to drop 500lb bombs on them. It was super effective.
My grandfather helped your grandfather by going up in untested fighter planes with the pilots and checking to make sure none of the bolts were loose.
He was also an air raid warden in London, meaning he was out on the streets getting people to safety while the bombs were dropping.
I wish I had an ounce of that man’s courage… although, being both Jewish and German, he knew exactly what had to be stopped.
Seems like Boeing could really use your grandfather right now.
I wouldn’t want him up there in one of them.
If your great grandfather is a Soldier type he will deal an additional STAB damage as well.
He started off as Infantry sent to Gallipoli, then joined the Australian Flying corps and flew over Ypre and the Somme. After the end of WW1 he joined the RAF and flew medium bombers over Europe during WW2.
I just remember him as a kind old man that loved me.
He did that to protect the one he loved! Fuck the facist that throw the world into chaos back then.
At least the originals could honestly say that they didn’t know how far it would be taken. Modern Nazis know exactly where this shit goes.
If it was a physical attack, he could’ve screeched at them in advance to really lower their defence too!
I think your great grandfather might have killed mine. I’m totally OK with this.

Your great grandfather sounds incredibly based!
Mine had the dubious honors of smuggling booze as an early teen, and allegedly helped popularize deposit fees because he would rent all the major party halls in his city, and then cancel all but one, ensuring he ran the only big party in town on a given weekend.

That sounds like the sort of thing my paternal grandad would do.

But what a party!
Mine was a pacifist, but spoke German, so they had him guard the POWs and report on what they said.
