CRASH LANDING

This week's post is another story from Marwencol - "Crash Landing" - that takes us back to the very beginning when Mark discovered Marwencol:

I was flying in my P-40 Warhawk, on fire... I saw a flat field below and I crash landed it.

At first there was nobody around.

Then, one by one, beautiful doll-like women starting emerging.

We drove into town, but there wasn't anybody around.

The S.S., I found out later, had gone through Marwencol and killed men, women, and children.

It was a desolate town.

Slowly more women started to come out.

They'd hidden when the S.S. came through.

When they saw me, they thanked me.

And I was thinking, 'Boy what a lucky guy I am'...

SPECIAL DELIVERY

In honor of his documentary premiering at the South by Southwest Film Festival this week, Mark created a Marwencol story for the occasion. Mark's description:

Just when we were looking at the unexploded ordinance in front of Marwencol Town Hall - grateful that we weren't blown up - a special courier message came into town...

It was the announcement of a new movie and it was all about my life...

LOST IN THOUGHT

In this photo, I'm deep in thought about all that has happened to me in the past. Mostly I'm thinking, 'I'm still alive!'

IN BETTER DAYS

This photo was taken when the Wehrmacht and the Allies shared the town of Marwencol. There was one rule in my town: they had to be friends. They all drank together, they all smoked cigarettes together. Everybody got along.

MOVING DAY

Anna and I cry and hold each other. This is our last time seeing the spot where Marwencol once stood. We had to move the town so it would be harder for the Nazis to find.

NAZI SNIPER

A Nazi sniper that was hiding in the church bell tower and picking off Marwencol townsfolk is shot by my friend 101 AB Sniper.

The friendly Wehrmacht and I executing the plan we cooked up of me posing as their prisoner - so I could get into the Marwencol Church and find out what the SS wanted in my town.

OUR NEW M-5

A much needed M-5 Stuart rolls into Marwencol to strengthen our defenses against the ever-bullying, close-minded Nazis.

TRUCE

My inspiration for this photo was the 'Christmas Truce' between the British and the Germans during WWI. They shared food and drink and played soccer on the battlefield instead of killing each other.
