Default The facts... or maybe not.

This is the closest you can get to the facts...

http://www.amazon.co.uk/As-Far-Feet-...885916-5288508

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clemens_Forell

And yes I do think it has a lot to do with the work of the TD & SoW teams.

Salutes.

Come to think about it, I should. Off-topic posts should be marked as such or not posted at all.

an interesting story. I have one of a surivor as well. A classmate of mine and still today a neighbor ,whose father was of German ancestry. Born and raised in Russia, which at the time was not a good combination during WW2. His family lost everything and he was the only one to survive by living for two years in the wild ,stealing food where he could till he finally escaped to the west and eventualy made his way to Canada.
Somehow he survived and to this day is one of the toughest men I have ever met. God rest his soul.

Even if this may just be a myth, it is a nice moral to it. Good story, thanks!
