What a life that man had, and he was only 17 in 1939! Thanks for the read.

Thanks for the heads up. An impressive man indeed. Despite his setbacks, he kept on forging ahead, and made quite the name for himself. I guess being in the war, and a u-boat would teach that to you; to keep picking yourself up and never truly give up.
