Jerry Wolf enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corps at the age of 18. He became a flight engineer and was eventually chosen to be a top turret gunner in a B-17 bomber. Wolf realized he was the only Jewish person in his crew, which gave him even more conviction when battling German planes – he wanted to fight, to stand up for his fellow Jews in Europe who were suffering unthinkable horrors.
In 1944, ten days before the Allied invasion of D-Day on June 6th, Wolf was on his 25th bombing mission, targeting an oil refinery near Berlin. His plane was hit. He would spend a year as a Prisoner of War. Here he reflects on his experiences and how his service shaped his life.
