Charles L. Brown

JESUS was with Charles L. Brown on that faithful day. He also put compassion in the heart of the German airman. God is so Good! He blessed both men with a beautiful long life. ❤

This is more or less a duplicate message as I have posted about these two fine gentlemen (Charlie & Franz). Prayers for the both of them. It was wonderful that they both survived the war and were able to become life long friends after the war was over. It does not get any better than that.

What a gallant man, who did every possible thing, flying a severely damaged B-17, to save his crew from a determined German fighter aircraft attack on his first mission during WW2. And to be spared by a lone chivalrous German fighter pilot leaves nothing but respect and honour.

I went to the same high school as Charles Brown. He was 8 years older than me but I'm, sure my older brothers knew him. A great honor to know he was from Weston, WV. We had other heroes from Weston in WW2.

I hope more stories like this one are published and affect others like it has for me. Courageous acts of compassion need to be retold until 'we' raise our consciousness to learn to work together rather than harm each other.
Thank you for posting !

I just had to send my condolences to the Brown family after reading about Chales Browns' experiences during and after WW2. A true hero who lived a remarkable life. His connection with Franz Stigler was just extrodinary. The story of two pilots on opposites sides of World War 2 coming face to face over worn torn Germany only to be reunited years later was simply fascinating. I wish I had of met Mr Brown before his passing. God bless him and his family

I was sent an email regarding the story of Your beloved Father and his special Brother Franz. I was so touched I decided to look up more information regarding what had happened on that fateful day. Absolutely inspiring Vale to both your Dad Charles and Franz may they both still be telling their story forever in Heaven.

Thank you for your service, your many contributions to society, and of course, many thanks for sharing the touching story about the incident and friendship with Franz Stigler. RIP Sir.

Charles and Franz were two men who demonstrated nobody wants war. Charles later discovered keys to prove nobody needs war. I was familiar with "A Higher Call" but in discovering how Charles Brown went to Congress, met a Senator in the Science & Technology committee, and met the General Counsel where he proved he could improve gas mileage, and lower emissions by 40%. Instead of thanking him, Charles test vehicle was stolen, his equipment and notes taken. His project at the Maritime Administration also proved too successful, and was cancelled. This is all outlined in the book, UNACKNOWLEDGED, published in May 2017 by Dr. S.M. Greer. As a tribute to you, Charles, and your friend Franz, whose selfless act gave you and your men 60 more years to live & invent things to bless our world, I give thanks. To all men like you, I hope everyone searching for truth will read UNACKNOWLEDGED, especially pages 70 to 73 which tell your story after the war. Every American, every German, and every human being on this planet needs to know the truth, so your children and your children's, children's children will have an earth to inherit one day. Thank you for your service, and your example. May your family be forever blessed.
My father also served, in Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima, Midway, the Solomon Islands and Korea. I include his photo in tribute, and with thankfulness to all who serve.
