Jewish War Heroes #2

Sergeant Barney Ross, a former undefeated boxing champion from New York's Jewish East Side, brings his fighting spirit to the First Marine Division. When his platoon comes under fire, Ross refuses to abandon his position, standing guard over three wounded comrades in a foxhole and holding the line until help arrives. His extraordinary courage and devotion earn him the Silver Star Medal and a Presidential Citation, cementing his legacy as a hero of the highest order.

Acting Wing Commander Lionel Cohen, a Newcastle-born veteran of two world wars, brings his sharp-shooting skills to the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve during World War II, flying dangerous operational missions across European and North African theaters. From attacking German warships like the Gneisenau at Brest to engaging in anti-submarine patrols and convoy escort duty, Cohen logs 45 combat flights while facing intense enemy fire and earning his Distinguished Flying Cross. This is the story of a pilot's courage under fire and the cost of frontline service.

Leo Frijda, a Dutch Jewish patriot, confesses to assassinating Nazi officials during the occupation, insisting he and a fellow resistance fighter bear sole responsibility for the killing of General Seyffardt and others. Convicted and sentenced to death, Frijda faces execution by firing squad—but a stunning revelation about his sacrifice emerges afterward when student-priest Verleun of The Hague steps forward with a truth that rewrites the story of who really pulled the trigger.

Flight Lieutenant S.S. Shulemson joined the R.C.A.F. in 1941 and went overseas in late 1942, eventually flying with the R.A.F. Coastal Command where he distinguished himself in combat operations against German aircraft and enemy convoys. His service earned him recognition for both his skill in the air and his courage in protecting fellow pilots under fire.
