  • Jumpin’ Joe Beyrle was a legendary member of the 101st Airborne. Parachuting into action in France, Joe was athletic, tough and determined, He never let something like being captured stop him. Escaping 3 times including a trip to Berlin, he eventually got free and found the Red Army, joined up and liberated the camp he was previously held in.

I shit you not this teacher looked EXACTLY like his grandfather did when he was in the POW camp. He asked if we wanted to meet his grandfather and we all were pretty stoked to meet him so he set up a meeting. Cool Old man. He didnt want to tell us his choice words that got his ass knocked out by the Gestapo because he was polite guy but he said the last thing he saw was the butt of a rifle before waking up elsewhere. Had a feeling he called him an SOB. thanks for confirming. that was back in like 2004 or 2005.

    1. He’s of German blood, but fights for the Americans.
    2. He liberated the same camp that he was imprisoned in.
    3. His marriage was conducted by the same priest who conducted his funeral.

      There is a German science/travel show named Galileo, that flexes quite often, by saying "We are the first German camera crew ever to to film..."
      Your comment reminded me of one of comments in their video about Russian prison for mass murderers. To get a permission to shoot there, they allegedly had got hard time.
      Comment:
      Tough negotiation according to Galileo-
      Galileo: Could we shoot it?
      Russia :No
      Galileo: Please
