Besides losing the war, many of our MPs/? stationed in Germany, post war were like one of my cousins.

He was 6’4” tall, weighed 220#’s, played both offensive and defensive football, never lost a wrestling match. He spoke German and hated the Nazis.

He was in Germany for 2 years after the end of WWII, “keeping the Peace”. He said that he was the mild mannered one in his “Peace keeping group”.
