My mom grew up in Germany during WWII.. Grandfather was lieutenant colonel in the German army - he actually hug with Richthofen in WWI.. he spent 3 years in a Russian Gulag, but was released when he contracted shingles and they didn't want him infecting the whole camp.. Mo's house had a bomb go through the roof down to the basement and not explode.. she was attacked by P-38's at a rain station at age 13 and an Officer pulled her into a bunker claiming she was his wife to save her life.. She had TONS of stories just like that, so, yeah, I dig WWII stories..

..and yeah, I finally bought a leather WWII Luftwaffe pilot's jacket and had it delivered two weeks ago, which has become my favorite jacket to wear...
