I had always wondered about the Son Tay raid with the prisoners having been moved just before they got there. I don’t guess I have ever heard anything about it being compromised, but it wouldn’t surprise me.

The commander, Bull Simons lived on a hog farm not too far from where I grew up South of DeFuniak Springs, FL. I think the fact that he operated a hog farm meant he was not a practicing Jew.

Back in the early days of Israel's 1948 Independence War, a couple of the Israeliu Kibbutzs operated by somewhat less than orthodox Jews [mostly Socialists] raised hogs. Which would have given the Orthodox Jews fits. Not to worry.

They referred to them thereafter as *giant chickens.*

Love that giant chicken bacon!
