My cousin, now in his 80's I'd guess, who I've known most of my adult life told me a story about his war experiences just a few years ago. He and two others had been captured by a like number of Germans. Somehow, he and these other two managed to overpower their captors and escape in a stolen Mercedes, nice one too he says, and proceeded to drive in a westerlerly direction until they ran into friendly forces. We were in a bar at the time and that's about all I recall of the story.
Someday, at say an earlier time of the evening, I'm going to get him to tell me the story again and see if I can get him to elaborate a bit more. He's a bit closed mouth about the whole thing.
