	Description:		In recognition of the D-Day anniversary, listen to Beyond 50's "History" talks with Adam Makos. He'll talk about the lives and careers of two airmen of opposing nations - the American, 2nd Lieutenant Charlie Brown, a twenty-one year old farm boy from West Virginia - the the German, 2nd Lieutenant Franz Stigler, a former airline pilot from Bavaria. They would come to stare across the frozen skies at one another. Considered one of the greatest untold stories in military history, Makos will explore a fundamental question: Can good men fight against each other in a bad war and still uphold their values? What happened between them, the American 8th Air Force would later classify as "top secret." It was an act that Franz could never mention or else face a firing squad. Their encounter haunted both of them for more than forty years until finally as old men, they met again, reunited in friendship and brotherhood.
