Hitler didn't get my Dad: after fighting in NW Europe he went on to the Control Commission in Germany, then the Korean War. The peculiar tone of his tie in this photo is due, apparently, to its being red, and worn to denote that he was hospitalised. He said he got spotted by a senior NCO in Lincoln wearing this, who didn't know what it was for, and bawled him out for being improperly dressed; I think of him every time I pass the spot. And along with eddie, a fair few of us must be thinking of our old Dads right now...
