Thats a champion piece Gator. Scary though.
I know its not quite on topic but me and the folks were talking about my Grandad’s brother who died 12 years ago.
Anyways,he fought at El Alamein in 1942 and I remember him saying something about capturing prisoners from the SS Arab Legion. Was he right ? Does anyone know if the Nazis had moslem troops ?
Cheers
