Sometimes military training is helpful when dealing with recalcitrant pets. We had a judge in my home town in Texas who was fond of giving chronic brawlers and bruisers a choice between three years in the Army or two years in the County Jail. Once Vietnam got cranking, nearly all of them chose the jail, but some of them did actually benefit from the military. The fellow above, Stanislaw Zbyszko, actually volunteered for the Polish Army, below:
And just see how nicely he turned out!
Stolz Polens.
ReplyDeleteEine Legende aus dem goldenen Zeitalter des Wrestlings.
Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs war mein Vater ein wilder Jugendlicher, der die Wahl zwischen dem Konzentrationslager Moringen und der Armee hatte. So landete er mit 17 Jahren in Nordafrika. Er war im Afrikakorps sicherer als Deutschland. (“)
Some of the Afrika Korps memebers who were sent to POW camps in the USA described it as more like a holiday camp than a prison. I actually spoke to one guy who had moved to the States as soon as he could after the war. He said that he was treated (and fed) better as a POW than he ever was in the German Army.
DeleteDie preußische Disziplin, die mein Vater nur bedingt entragen konnte.
DeleteEr war mit dem Zusammenbruch Nordafrikas nach Sizilien evakuiert worden. Er landete schließlich in Norwegen ! :)
