Mad Mike Hoare
This reminds me in an odd way what I learned about the actor who played Scotty in Star Trek (James Doohan) he was a commando in WWII, my own grandfather was deported from Germany in 1934 ended up fighting in the US Army in the Pacific then went on to do occupation duty in Japan …..that generation was unique in both good and bad.
