Bed Check Charlie in ww2 was a German pilot who flew at night looking for targets of opportunity.
The watch on the Rhine was scary. Bed Check Charlie made his calls. One of our soldiers lit a flre- The temps were pretty low. Old Bed Check Charlie Saw the fire and came down For a closer look as he buzzed over head.. His next vist almost done us all in. We were hiding under a cement truck When Charlie turned on his machine guns, And straffed us all around. He missed us by 5 feet, we measured it.

Even in civilian life, we have close calls, times when by all common sense, we should have died. I think it is evidence that God wanted us to live longer--perhaps another chance to get to know Him and accept His gift of saving grace.
Your visits from Bed Check Charlie must have been nerve-wracking! I'm glad God kept you here for us to know!

An experience from war that defies the idea of how to survive on a cold night.

You should have broke out a machine gun positioned just right so that you could have "lit that [flyer]" right in the ass with a little hot lead, like you wanted to write in your poem.
