This would have spared my grandmother and her village a razing…

Actually during the war Hitler was wounded by a rifleshot. Official descriptions vary from it being in his abdomen or his thigh. Unofficially, and based on stories told by other witnesses in the aid station he was brought to and the autopsy performed by the Russians after his death, Hitler had a testicle shot off.

Just goes to show you how far some people will go to compensate and to prove their “manhood”.

Also the idea of the machine gunner being Levi, a traditionally jewish name. Clever

I think you have to debate that with my history teacher, who claims that he survived a mustard gas attack, however he escaped that one, I just placed an incompetent newby into the picture.
But thank you!
