Discover the untold story of Operation Chowhound—when American bomber pilots turned their B-17s from weapons of war into angels of mercy. In May 1945, with Nazi Germany still occupying the Netherlands, 4 million Dutch civilians faced starvation. Against all odds, American crews negotiated a ceasefire with the SS to drop food—not bombs—over enemy territory.
Captain James Morrison and his crew faced an impossible choice: fly unarmed at 400 feet over German positions, trusting the same SS forces responsible for massacres at Malmedy to hold their fire. One wrong move, one trigger-happy soldier, and dozens of bombers could fall from the sky.
But what happened next changed everything. Over nine days, American airmen flew 2,300 sorties, dropping 7,000 tons of food to a dying nation. German soldiers watched in silence. Dutch civilians wept in the streets. And the world witnessed what mercy looks like in war's darkest hour.
