Default Re: Post-War German Soldier Saga

Germans come for 100+ miles to my wife's place and the majority of them are female. But whem grandpa comes to visit the kids he's usually a little out of place there. That's when I move in. I've got to know three of the original Von Braun team members (one with his wife comes every two weeks, he is 92, she 91),a ME 262 pilot(he showed me where they carried the parachute knives), a Hitler Jungend Pimpf(youth leader), two AA battery members (15 year olds drafted at the end). If you have seen the film of the Germans in France parading at the Arc De Triomphe there is a General on a white horse. He was General Romer, his daughter comes to the shop and her husband has brought his P38 to show me. And so it goes.
