Happy Thanksgiving, eh!

 

I really miss Benny Hill...

 

Wishing all our Canadian CT members a joyful Thanksgiving.

 

For those Canadians no longer on this forum, but who are missed: Steve. Happy Thanksgiving.

 

Actually, a European(German) living in Canada
I ended up devouring almost 10,000 calories yesterday.....so will have to do a whole lotta walking to burn off those calories/ plus at the same time, make $ to pay for next auction wins!

 

Shoot. I miss Steve. He would always do this day upright. Sorry the fellow chose to be gone. Not to be a Debbie Downer.......Happy Thanksgiving fellows.

 

10,000 calories? You devil. You'd be absolutely unable to drive a Panzer and Rommel would be most unhappy with you.

Thank goodness we live today. In another world, I'd be in a 'Sherman' and at your mercy.........

 

The only good thing about my 10K calories binge, I eat like that all the time, thank God that i walk an average of 270km. a week in my work/ cutting grass!
I wore size 30 blue jeans in high school, now wear size 29!
Yeah, my uncle Karl got drafted into the 11th SS Nordland Panzer Div. in Feb. 45. He was 18, by March he was made commander of his own King Tiger. By the end of April he knocked out 66 Soviet tanks, mostly Josef Stalin II's a formidible tank.
Thankfully, he still today is very youthfully and active.

 

Now I understand your fascination with gold! Weimar and all that.

 

Brothers at arms, I salute him. God Bless him as a warrior, as he truly was. Shoot....66? The fellow was a sharp shooter.

 

And I'm drunk and weary.........good nite folks.

 

I love learning this kind of history from the 'other side'. Veterans are veterans no matter what side they were fighting for...it's just the rules of the game that somebody has to win and somebody has to lose. In the end, it is in the respect that honourable warriors have for each other after the shooting is over that the truth is found.
