  1. Two very separate thoughts:

    My dad used to joke that he “captured an entire Hungarian division,” but, in more serious moments, he said that what he really did was encounter a pathetic group of old men and little boys, disarmed but unfed, and directed them to keep marching to the rear.

    And I had a constant critic who wrote me vicious letters when I was writing educational pieces about history and current events. Over time, I learned his father had been a German killed in the war, he had survived Dresden, his mother had married a Yank and brought him here. He was an unreconstructed Nazi, but I felt a little sorry for him. On the other hand, he was one toxic SOB..

    We’re gonna have a lot of cleaning up to do when this is all over.
