Yes your turn!

A deserter from the Coldstream Guards in the 1930s he then turned to crime. A safecracker by profession and serving fourteen years in jail on Jersey in the Channel Islands, at that time under German occupation, he volunteered to spy for the Germans in England. He was trained at the Abwehr sabotage school at Nantes in France and then was parachuted into England on December 20, 1942, with a mission to blow up the De Havilland aircraft factory at Hatfield, in Hertfordshire, which was producing the new fighter-bomber, the Mosquito.

After landing, he contacted British Intelligence who contrived a plan to blow up part of the factory not in use, giving the Germans the impression that the mission had succeeded. On returning to Jersey for more work, was decorated with the German Iron Cross.

The first shot of World War II in Europe was fired from the German battleship Schleswig Holstein which was on an official visit to Poland and berthed in Danzig harbour. At 4.30 am on September 1, 1939, the ship moved slowly down the Port Canal and took up position opposite the Westerplatte (an area containing Polish troop barracks and workshops) and at 4.47 am, the order to ‘Fire’ was given.

World War II had begun. Seven days later, on September 7, the Westerplatte Garrison surrendered.

Tsolias, I mean that I’ll have quit a long holiday but I’ll stay at home. I will not leave Bucharest and I’ll be on duty here, on the forum. :lol: :lol:
