They didn’t. Tante and Opa just didn’t believe they existed. Ignorance being bliss, he continued to make furniture in his workshop at the back of the house, and she buried potatoes in the cellar, next to the barrel of sauerkraut. A mat over the cellar door hid it’s exitance, and no one would have thought to search in the bathroom cupboard for that bucket of honey from her bees. Want to survive a war? Live in the country.

Had a beautifully done Moose roast last night.

Sharing my favorite Pipe which occasionally emits fairly good amounts of Erinmore Tobacco on the burn.

It just so happens to be Bavarian Style with metal Edelweiss Flowers on it. Your story gives me a whole new respect for it.
