American Taylor Matthews tattooed on his body, "Freedom or death" in memory of his grandfather who was saved by the "Chetniks" (member of a Serbian nationalist guerrilla force that formed during World War II to resist the Axis invaders and Croatian collaborators) in the famous Operation "air bridge" (Halyard).
B-24 plane of his grandfather, who was only 19 years old, was shot down over occupied Serbia during World War II. His grandfather and more than 500 Allied pilots were shot down by Germans, were rescued by Chetniks, writes on his Facebook profile director Boris Malagurski.
The largest number of pilots during the operation called "air bridge" was evacuated to makeshift airport in Pranjani 1944. This operation is considered to be one of the most successful rescue mission ever.
- Taylor remembered his grandfather's stories about how they were guarded by the Chetniks and evacuated. Two years after my grandfather's death, this is how I am paying back to the people who saved my grandfather's life - said in a video that Malagurski posted.
