@normmacdonald That is kind of you. I remember being very young, maybe six, and him telling me that he had once been shot and I didn't believe him until he showed his scar on his right flank. It was puckered and I could poke my fingers right in it. @normmacdonald He was a German speaking Sudentenlander. He once saw Hitler in an open-top motorcade go through his home town after Czechoslovakia was invaded. A few years later, when he was a soldier, he once saw Rommel outside of a burning hotel.
