thanks Gargamel for your comment. its good to think that you have understood me
for me, this game is about the total history from both sides. and very often an anecdote like the one i have put up says more in two sentences than potentially a whole history book can try to say. these insightful moments blow me away, the more i read it the more i saw the scene in my head - i could not get away from such a tragic and wonderful incident: it compressed the good and the bad of the war into one moment - awesome

cheers
