Interesting Hanno.

It sounds like George first hand witnessed the horrific V2 explosion at the Cinema Rex in Antwerp December 16th 1944. 567 People died from the single V2 rocket that day. If you see the pictures and movie footage taken shortly after the hit, you wonder how anyone could have survived that blast!
