Hi Richard

And the neighbour old German chap was a POW as well. His capture was remarkable... his friend ( forgotten the name ) was born in a part of Europe that changed hands between Germany and France post WW1 . This chap was born in that region and became part of the French army 1939.. after capture the Germans said he is really a German , so he became part of the German army. In Italy serving in the Wermacht, he was captured by allied French troops , and he re-joined the French army .. truth is stranger than fiction they say ..
