Hello David Crockett Baseball fans! We have a team shop open and running until November 20th. Click on the QR code and check it out. Most items say David Crockett baseball but a few just say David Crockett Pioneers, so look closely. Hopefully, I will have a better flyer in a few days. All orders before the 15th should arrive before Christmas. Others may be a little after.
Who will love this: World War 2 history buffs
The almost unbelievable story of Denis Avey, now 92, began in 1944 when he was captured and sent to a POW work camp. He was put to work every day in a German factory, where he labored alongside Jewish prisoners from a nearby camp called Auschwitz. The stories they told him were horrifying. Eventually Avey's curiosity, kind-heartedness, derring-do, and perhaps foolhardiness drove him to suggest--and remarkably manage--switching places with two of the Jewish prisoners in order to spend a couple of harrowing days and nights inside. Miraculously, he lived to tell about it.
Surely deserving of its place alongside the great World War II stories, this is an incredible tale of generosity, courage, and, for one Jewish prisoner whom Denis was able to help, survival. Amazingly, breathtakingly, it is told here for the first time.
