There’s such cruelty in this moment. Steve is ready to die to try and save Bucky, but in saving him, Steve utterly destroys him. He shatters Bucky into pieces in the hopes that there will be something to salvage, and there’s very little kindness in that at all. It’s more savage than any of their physical fights, more brutal than Steve headbutting him or dislocating his arm or choking him out, which is why I think Steve saves it for the very last thing he says before he expects to die at Bucky’s hands. He doesn’t have the heart to say it before then.
Sir Nicholas Winton is a humanitarian who organized a rescue operation that saved the lives of 669 Jewish Czechoslovakia children from Nazi death camps, and brought them to the safety of Great Britain between the years 1938-1939.
After the war, his efforts remained unknown. But in 1988, Winton’s wife Grete found the scrapbook from 1939 with the complete list of children’s names and photos. Sir Nicholas Winton is sitting in an audience of Jewish Czechoslovakian people who he saved 50 years before.
