Context is everything.
Grab a coffee and listen to this podcast conversation between Paul Woodage and Sean Feast, author of the Stanley Booker biography, “Airman, Prisoner Saviour, Spy.” Stanley Booker, the last of the Allied airmen of Buchenwald to passs (died in April 2025), committed a big part of his long life to addressing the injustices experienced by this group of surviving airman after WWII. This conversation also provides a detailed insight into the context in which Phil Lamason’s courage and leadership during his WWII captivity took place. Truly a remarkable story.
