WW2 a different world war and few if the surviving participants would use the word good.

My point is they’re all disasters , especially for the defeated. Senseless? Well let’s review the fortunes of the victors… sum up, we’re the only ones left and not better for it.

And now Germany leads Europe in committing suicide. In fairness Europe committed suicide in 2 acts.

They did brain surgery on him???? What happened to him after the war?

I think the diary deserves an epilogue. I've found a letter he wrote to a comrade in 1967, so I will ransack that for clues.

Would love to know what he had to say and what his life was like.
