"In all my years as a soldier, I have never seen men fight so hard." - SS Obergruppenfuhrer Wilhelm Bittrich - Arnhem
Just heard that on the way home.
Bob Wilson gave a brief interview because Trautmann was his idol. Wilson lost two brothers in the RAF in WW2 and his father who also fought in WW1 couldn't understand Wilson's 'hero worship' for a prisoner of war.
Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings
Heard about this on the way home, RIP. For those in the UK there is a documentary about him now showing on Yesterday (freeview 19).
