Family at Shellhus

Hi,

I spoke to Ed Balkan the producer 4 weeks ago.
Ed had sold the documentary to UK based Journeyman.

This event holds a huge part in my family history and directly why I am here. My father, grandfather, grandmother, and aunt were imprisoned in a prison close to Shellhouse.
The night before the raid my father and grandfather signed their death warrant for the following day. The raid had saved their lives.
I have written accounts of the raid from a book that my father wrote. He comments, during the shelling 2 fellow prisoners lifted him up to look out the cell window. He was able to view the Mosquitos and was impressed on their accuracy. He also wrote that they hit the interrogation room where the Gestapo and traders (interpreters) were gathered.

The family watched the documentary 2 weeks ago and I must say it was very emotional for us all.

I know my father before he passed away in 2007 wanted to contact the air crew involved in the raid. I am now going to try to contact any of these brave heroes that may still be alive or the family members to pass on my deepest appreciation. Thanks Bluenoser for posting the Shell House Raiders, this is a good start.
