@Gargantua:

Yes!

I might be willing to buy some then.

It’s criminal negligence if you leave drugs or car keys out and somebody gets hurt.  If you leave a firearm out its a different matter.  Why?  Hint Hint……The NRA will not go to bat for your misplaced keys or drugs…

Agreed.
A tyrant, no doubt.

Definitely. You can see how easily it could be romanticised and turned into a film.

My grandfather was an open book about his service. He loved his job, he delivered food to unit. A guy with large quantities of food surrounded by a hungry population, he loved the attention the women gave him.

His job was good until the front lines stabilized. He would then targeted by artillery bringing in supplies to his unit. He got targeted by mortars at Brest. And on the Westwall he was targeted by an 88mm.

@Gargantua:

Alright - pot stirring time,

Isn’t this guy a Traitor.? ;)

Oh well, what do you know Aleposita, oh well… :|

A heck of story.  We talk about heroes and bravery now, everyone is a hero it seems.  No, going after a pirate in two small ships with no cannons so you could engage in hand to hand combat….THAT is brave and heroic.

Great story witt
