I know this is old, but it's excellent and his English is very good. Where I live in Indiana about 20 minutes drive there was a POW camp for Germans and Italians. Many women dated the German prisoners because our men were in Europe. A few Germans ended up staying and I met one who was in the Luftwaffe and then became an American citizen and joined the US Army and fought in the Korean war. I worked for a woman that owned a diner and her name was Ute and her father died in Russia and they never got him back. They didn't know what happened to him. This was during the war and not afterwards. He went missing and just never came back. Poor woman. I loved her. Great interview. Outstanding. ❤

My grandfather also landed in the 3rd wave on Omaha beach with the 7th Naval beach battalion at the same time this gentleman did. He was a radio operator (not sure what exact rank/description that would be) who relayed messages back to the ships. He said that their landing craft got hung up on some underwater obstruction off shore and the driver had to stop there and drop the ramp in water that was over their heads. My grandfather jumped in with his heavy radio gear that dragged him to the bottom and he had to wriggle free of it and swim to shore. Later they hooked him up with a new radio set so he could do his job. He also said that every time he'd transmit he'd have to leave pretty quickly because the Germans would use radio direction finders to zero in and start lobbing shells at that location. Not sure on the details of that because he didn't talk about it much and he died in the 90s when I was younger.

19:57 Stalin's last demands in Berlin on Nov. 12, 1940 to establish communism in Europe. Molotov appeared in Berlin with tough demands that amounted to bringing Scandinavia and the Balkans under Soviet influence and thus not only to gain exits to the North Sea and the Mediterranean. Germany should support a 2nd Soviet war on Finland. Sweden, Denmark, Bulgaria, Turkish coast, Romania (Germany's ally and oil supplier) Hungary, Yugoslavia, the Balkans should be declared a Soviet zone or occupied by the Red Army. Hitler saw this as an encirclement of the west .Molotov had named the price of the August 23, 1939 Soviet pact. After Molotov's departure, the German Foreign Office telegraphed the Kremlin in Moscow, which once again confirmed the unbelievable demands .Four weeks after Molotov's visit, Hitler issued "Instruction No. 21" Barbarossa case

@@MakingHistoryProject Of course thats are the Molotov demands and the protocols can be found on the net. Many articles have been written about why Stalin suddenly wanted to have these incredible demands fulfilled. Part 5 of the old British documentary "The World at War" also deals with this visit by Molotov to Berlin. The contemporary witness and translator of the meeting also has his say. Hitler and Molotov are said to have shouted at each other. Hitler shouted, "You Soviets will not attack Finland!" Molotov also wanted Romania, Germany's oil supplier. Hitler had Barbarossa prepared for this. You can find the docuPart 5 at Daily Motion. " Under the impression produced by Molotov’s stubborn questioning and insistence on Soviet rights,Hitler had told Göring that he was confirmed in his decision to attack the Soviet Union in the spring. ‘The decision over European hegemony will be made in the struggle against Russia."

How quickly generational vernaculars change. That question about what a goldbricker is was as revealing as when they were asking that Kraut Spy about Li’l Abner, if in fact the interviewer really did not know. I realize that for the benefit of future Generation’s these question’s are necessary and the meaning’s fully explained. I was born in 1957 a second Generation American exposed to the slang / vernacular of much older relatives many of whom often used terms and nicknames from their native Italian , Portuguese, Slavonian and German. Anyone who grew up watching old films like A Walk in the Sun , Guadalcanal Diary and many more of those classic’s or watched The Three Stooges and Bowery Boy’s will have a pretty good understanding. By the time Of the Sponge Bob Generation many of those old terms are lost on them. Terms like Sponge, leech or Let Me Bum a Smoke off Ya. Strega in Italian means witch but was often used to label a girl of low moral virtue also synonymous with Gold Digger, slut, high stepper or other’s who use men for personal advancement. A guy like the officer who coveted Haviland’s Wife would be called a limberdick or referred to as thinking He was God’s gift to women , some kinda Adonis , can’t keep it in his pants , a succor for the women aka mufa for the women or mufarata ( terms not found in Italian dictionaries. There are so many more. You can easily say that anyone not familiar with them was “ still sitting behind their daddy’s nuts “ when those terms were in popular usage.
