[I cannot think of a name]

When I was a kid growing up, I remember a lady in the neighborhood telling us a story about her father and her uncle. Her dad went to the local authorities and blew the whistle on her uncle (her dad's brother) and his friends. Seems they were planning some bombings and killings. The uncle was locked up and later died in prison.

Of course the lady telling me this was a ‘German war bride’ and the place she was talking about was Germany after World War II. The authorities were American Soldiers. The uncle and his friends were talking about ‘the fourth Reich’ that would raise from the ashes of the third. After nearly five years of having the snot bombed out of them, eating grass and paper off the walls to survive, as well as living like animals with every vestige of civilization destroyed, her dad and his friends said - ENOUGH!

We knew how to win wars back then.
