The attached article also appeared in yesterday's local newspaper. A really great story: link |

Glad to see him sending the flag to a relative of one of the capturing US troops |

Yes agree. Out of interest – the article mentions that it is a naval flag – I thought it was a Reichskreigflagge rather than necessarily a naval flag…? Many years ago I bought exactly the same type of flag from an old Vet (he was selling a lot of stuff and the flag was included). I saw him several months later and he was disappointed to have let the flag go – he had liberated it from a town hall in France during the push to the Rhine. So I gave him the flag back – I personally wasn't overly keen on having the flag with a dirty great swastika in the middle – and I let him keep the money…he had my respect and it was the least I could do. |

Very cool! It's the season for giving and this guy seems to be a class act! |

Yes a very cool and classy act, by all concerned.

Merry Christmas and my God look after all the Servicemen deployed to protect us all. |

Merry Christmas and my God look after all the Servicemen deployed to protect us all. I'll second that! I'd also include Service women, and the families of same who pay a price with the continued absence of their loved ones, and to first responders – many of whom are placed in unnecessary danger for just trying to do their jobs protecting us all. |
