Who were the most unlucky flying soldiers of World War II? Why he hung on a tree for more than seventy years. During World War II, an Australian pilot encountered a fierce wind during his flight. He chose to land in a remote place, but in the process of landing, he accidentally hung up on a tree. What did the pilot do to save his life? What was his final outcome? Let's take a look.
During the Second World War, pilots from all countries were very precious, and in order to train these pilots, the country spent a lot of manpower, material and financial resources. Therefore, the pilot's self-protection ability is very important, in order to enable every pilot to have self-protection ability, they will be equipped with parachutes before the pilots enter the war and teach them how to use parachutes.
During World War II, there was such an American pilot who was attacked by the German army when he landed, and in order to survive, he quickly chose a remote place and chose to abandon the plane to escape. As a result, the pilot was so unlucky that he fell to the top of the church spire. Eventually he was hung on top of the church, and in order to survive, he had to remove the ropes from his body as quickly as possible. But unfortunately his scissors fell, and he was in great danger at this time, and if the German soldiers found him, he would undoubtedly die.
Sure enough, a German soldier found him, and in order to escape the killing of the German soldiers, he chose to fake his death. When the German soldier found him, he had been on the church for a long time, and the German soldier shot him directly, but he was very clever, and directly pulled his head down. Eventually the German soldiers thought he was dead, so they let him go, with this fake death trick. The American pilot survived, and he was thrown directly onto the pile of dead men by the German soldiers, and he chose to escape after all the German soldiers had gone far.
He found the local Allies in the surrounding area, so he led the local Allies to fight the German soldiers, and eventually these German soldiers were killed by him. In order to commemorate this American pilot who played a huge role in the European battlefield, the local people built a statue of a pilot hanging on the church after he left, and this statue has been hanging on the church for more than seventy years, and it is still hanging on it.
But the Australian pilot who was far away on the battlefield in Asia was not so lucky, Australia was still a Commonwealth country at that time, so this Australian pilot also participated in the war. The battle on the island of New Guinea was arguably the fiercest, when all 200,000 Japanese troops were surrounded on the island, and the combined Forces of the United States and Australia not only cut off their logistical supplies, but also jointly strafed the original 200,000 Japanese troops and left only 10,000 people. In order to be able to cut off the logistical supply lines of the Japanese army, Australia sent many air pilots. These air pilots were so powerful that they not only blew up the Japanese camp, but also managed to burn the food of these Japanese troops.
This made the Japanese soldiers very angry, so they counterattacked with artillery machine guns. In the middle of this, an Australian pilot was strafed by japanese machine guns during a low flight, and he had to give up his fighter jet in order to escape. But his luck was not very good, and he was blown directly into the forests of New Guinea. To know that the forests of New Guinea are all 10m tall trees, once he hangs on the treetops, he can only wait for the rescue of his teammates' team, if he chooses to cut the rope, then he is likely to fall to his death.
As a result, he was very unfortunate, and he was hung on a treetop in this forest, and the treetops of this tree were more than ten meters above the ground, which was really too high, and the surrounding trees also blocked it tightly. In order not to fall to his death, he had to honestly stay in the trees waiting for rescue, but he did not have any communication tools around him, let alone signal flares. This prevented him from calling for help, and when the Australian army fired multiple flares and no one responded, everyone gave up looking for the pilot. Everyone thought the pilot was dead.
This poor Australian pilot could only stay at an altitude of more than ten meters above the ground and wait desperately, not only did he have no food, he had no water, if it rained, he could still drink a sip of water or two, and in hunger, he had to nibble all the leaves around him. However, he still did not wait for the rescue, in this desolate forest, he can be said to be called the heavens and the earth should not be.
The most terrible thing is that his side is full of dangers, in the primeval forest, everything can be seen, so it is very common to see poisonous snakes in trees, poisonous lizards, this pilot he can not move, hanging on the trees so that his defense ability is directly weakened. No one knows how long he persisted, much less how the pilot died.
It wasn't until 70 years later, when a hunter came here to hunt, that he discovered the Australian pilot, who had turned into a white bone and was surrounded by leaves. In the end, the identity of the pilot was recognized through the equipment of the body, and the Australian pilot was sent to his country.
It can be seen from this how cruel world war II is, how hard-won our current peace is, all of which are inseparable from these brave soldiers of world war II, and if it were not for their efforts, they would not have been able to exchange for the current peace.
The above is the "most unlucky" pilot during World War II, parachuting accidentally hung on the tree for 70 years, full of green plants", I don't know what everyone thinks, welcome to leave a message in the comment area
