No, not the chocolate!!!! ![]() Seriously though, soldiers are used in civil defence situations far more that combat (in most civilised countries anyway) even though barely trained for the tasks given them. More acts of bravery and kindness can be found in these situations than in all the battlefields of history combined - but we don't hear about it because it's not as "newsworthy" as somebody earning a VC for killing/capturing 30 of the enemy while armed with nothing more than a knife and his boots.

I know it sounds to be a detail but to the various friends of mine that were children at the time, it was and remains extremely important. It might seems strange but that is what comes to their mind first before they tell you that they were hungree and that these soldiers had shared with them all they had. Keep in mind that, often, the wermacht had left only hours before.

The only thing worse than war is rules for war.
