Boy of 8 with Brother of 5 and Mother Shielding 2-Week Old Baby Bombed and Strafed by Enemy Aircraft

SARASOTA, Fla. - Aug. 9, 2014 - PRLog -- "A September to Remember" is a story of a mother trying to protect her two-week old baby and two small sons from poison gas during a bombing attack. Editors who are interested should contact the author for a copy of the column at maska5@comcast.net

The author, Bohdan O. Szuprowicz, intends to continue syndication of this column during every September as long as he lives. It is a reflection of the powerful impression that this moment in life has made on a small child 75 years ago.

The story is being updated as time progresses because new details are discovered by the author all the time. While the basic story of the first few hours of German attack on 1 September 1939 remains the same, family members and friends who also experienced the start of WW2 in Poland on that day, contribute comments and observations which in time remind the author of additional details to refine his story.

About the Author

Bohdan and his siblings became true “children of war” when the Germans bombed the military bases of his native Grodno on the first day of WW2. The family evacuated with military convoys that were strafed by German aircraft and harassed by pro-Soviet terrorists until they reached the relative safety of Romania two weeks later.

During his formative years Bohdan grew up on the beaches of Cote d’Azur in Vichy France. He gained notoriety at that time as an unruly child who tore down Hitlerite posters promoting collaboration. When the Germans occupied the entire country after allied invasion of North Africa, the family escaped across the Pyrenees into Spain, where they were arrested and interrogated by Franco’s pro-Nazi security services. Eventually they reached Lisbon and boarded a Boeing Clipper, operated by Royal Air Force, for a night flight across the German-controlled Bay of Biscay to Ireland. After a brief internment in England as foreign aliens the family was able to rejoin their father already serving in allied forces in the UK.

At present Szuprowicz lives in Florida and is exploring the use of digital publishing and communications to promote and market E-Books and E-stories. An author of today can become the writer, agent, publisher and promoter of his work without using outside services except for independent editorial assessment of his work.

Recently he published three E-Guides for authors and veteran memoir writers, focusing on free services available on the Internet. The most comprehensive of them all can be obtained using the link below:
