My land lord is a talkative old fella of 80+ years.
His favorite topic is WWII. He was stationed in India I think but his knowlege of the whole war is amazing.
Acording to Wayne during the first part of WWII the Germans pretty much had their way.
That is until the Americans got involved.
After we got involved if Germans were sighted on the other hill someone was shooting at them.They,the Germans , wern't used to that.Oh there was resistance but nothing like after our involvement.
Of course we had marksmen but often it was just small arms fire from ordinary infantrymen that made things miserable for the german soldier.
Anyway thats the story acording to Wayne.
