Was he still a Nazi? Or did he surrender? Does he still hate Jews? Just curious.
His name was Max Willie. He owned a transmission shop. In the early seventies I took a transmission into his shop for an estimate. I gave explicit instructions that they not proceed with the repair until I was informed of the cost.
When I inquired about the estimate I was told by the son that the repair was done and the bill was $350. That was more than I paid for the transmission.
I complained and said I asked for an estimate. I did not authorize the repair. The son referred me to the elder Willie. When talked to him he said. "OK if you don't want to pay I own the transmission. I took him to court. The judge found for me after some very tough questioning.
I got a judgment of execution and Willie refused to comply. I went back to court and Willie was found to be in contempt of the order and I was awarded an additional $300 in punitive damages.
Unfortunately since I represented myself I had to server the judgment to Willie myself. When I served him in his shop he told me. "You better get out of here now."
It was only later that I learned from friends in the local auto industry that he survived the Battle of Stalingrad and WALKED back to Germany.
The man was not someone to be f***ed with. I did however get my money. But the look on Willies face when I served him sent a chill up my spine. I was 23 and he was fifty. I knew from that encounter that he was not afraid of any two legged creature.
