That he is.

Whereas I am just a grumpy old bureaucrat.

Ich bin es wohl aber auch, besonders heute, wenn mein Gehalt gekuerzt wird!

Indeed. It drives me up the wall everytime I read something about Sepp "Deitrich" of the "Liebstandarte"....

Liebstandarte is always pleasing to me.

I love German. It is a beautiful, marvelous language. The best thing I ever did was learning German, without which I would have never had a career and or a wife, too. I forced myself to use Suetterlin when I wrote my master's thesis in the 1970s, and have more or less used it ever since. I have bad handwriting in German, as I do in English, but Suetterlin is attractive and pleasing to the eye.

FB: what government does not steal from us? They grab what they can,
especially from those that have a pension for many years of hard work!
Is any of those your girlfriend FB? Great showing Sütterlin-forms. Woolgar
can make a start now!

I am Dutch, born during the war in early 1942. When I was starting to speak
my first words were a mix of Dutch and German, as my grandmother and
mother often did speak German while a few German soldiers were quartered in
our home then. When Allied planes flew over, I instinctly fell on the ground and
shouted "hinfallen" (drop down). Strangly I did not when German planes flew
over (this is what my mother has told me when I was older)!
