Just pulling your leg. I would never even try to learn the grammar mess that German is if it would not have been breastfed to me. And I wanted to use the word Bahnhof, thought it is your favourite
Btw, I find the German in the "Das Boot" film very hard to understand, as much is spoken very quickly and/or mumbled, must be a mess for a non-native speaker.

This thread has brought the Spanish War back into my sights as well so I now have Beevor's book ordered from the local library.

oh yes, the fractions are all P-something
had a hard time when talking to a Spanish guy, who spoke little English, about the war , my drunken state certainly didn't help "pouf puum paull",
Looking forward to hear a judgement from you about Beevor's book, I am still in the Winter War atm
