How did your match go?
I just got my assistant instructor certificate in Jeet Kune Do earlier this week! I need to go to our Muay Thai class more often but I only have so much free time, you know?

Just waft some of that BBQ smoke across the DMZ and the populace will likely gladly give up just for a taste. I bet you can get some defections pretty easily that way.

So the Army decided that my record, in all of is exemplaryness, left me uniquely qualified to end our longest running war. With my expertise, I imagine North Korea will give up within the month. In the meantime I’ll be cooking BBQ for my neighbors and trying to keep my son from developing a KPop addiction.

Nice! I heard that Bavaria and most of southern Germany got hit with a big snowstorm. We just did the catering for the weihnachtsmarkt at the Deutche Schule Washington DC this past weekend. No snow here, but we did have lots of Leberkaese, bratwurst, weiners, kartofflesalat, and sauerkraut mit apfel. Lots of glühwein and Bitburger on tap as well.
What make of shotgun are you using for your games of trap and skeet? |

After nearly 2 decades of successful interruptus, we had our first child. The docs scheduled a C-section a week before the due date because he was projected to weigh more than 12 pounds if he went full term. He came out just shy of 10 and has been doing great. My vasectomy is scheduled for next week.

My grandfather died pretty young. Before my mom even got married.
The historian (who teaches at the war college) that was our guide said that it was likely due to the innate mistrust of the military and government that most soldiers develop during their time in service, especially during wartime. Lots of rumors were swirling around by then. That we'd strike a deal with someone who replaced Hitler should they surrender, that we'd scoop up the remaining German army and turn on the Russians (this one was common on both sides of the lines) etc. etc. One thing we learned is that the French really didn't care too much that they were ruled by Germany until the men had to do forced labor for the Germans. They'd leave for their labor duty for a year or two, and when they'd come back, their girlfriends, daughters, or wives would have taken up with the German soldiers who were stationed there more often than not. The French, and most of the other countries that Germany invaded, were more than happy to turn over their Jewish citizens, so soldiers were also worried that it'd get covered up to save face for our newly liberated allies. |

Did he ever tell you why he thought the U.S. wouldn't release the photos?

He was part of an artillery battalion. HQ battery. He was the mechanic in charge of keeping the aerial observation planes flying, so he never had to fire a weapon on the field of battle. he got shelled a few times by counter-battery fire, early on, especially around the west wall and Hurtgen, but once they crushed the Colmar pocket, it was pretty safe since the Wehrmacht couldn't muster much in the way of arty and ammo for the tubes they did have. He earned a bronze star, but we recently found out it wasn't for anything related to battle, but rather for the fact that he was able to keep those planes flying regardless. He was a master machinist who literally turned shafts and other parts on lathes in the field. He even found a way to squeeze another 70hp out of the engines for the recon planes in the field. Gave his spotters an edge and kept them alive. When the rainbow division hit Dachau, his battalion HQ was right on the heels of the infantry (he heard the infantry boys shooting the SS guards who didn't flee). Being in charge of the aerial reconnaissance planes, he and "Smith," one of his S2 buddies, had cameras and were told to record everything they could. Smith had two sets of photos developed from the negatives and took one batch, split them up between his friends (my grandfather included), and had the men secret them in their possessions to make sure the truth got out if the US Govt. didn't reveal the pure evil that the Nazis had perpetrated. We still have the photos with the descriptions that Smith typed up on the back in our possession. Bodies stacked like cordwood, the dead from the Buchenwald "death train" the crematorium, etc. Edited by tallen702 - 04 June 2023 at 2:07am |
