“. I got as close to being shot as I care to. I could feel and hear bullets whizzing over my head, and that shakes you up quite a bit.”

The closest I’ve ever gotten is working in high power rifle target pits. The rounds smacking the berm behind the targets sound almost as loud as the original muzzle blast. No thanks...who the hell wants to have to “go over the top”? And to those who do GODSPEED!

Thanks for this. I never knew this about him.

When Franz returned from the war, he made a living as a postman until he starred in the play "Cops."

I always thought he looked like a postman. Now I know why.

Always liked it when Andy S would give holy ‘what for’ to any Vet pretender, which was running wild during the era DF was ‘playing’ Detective.
