From the July 5th UK Telegraph by Matthew Day.
His commander from World War I, back in the Flanders trenches, was Ernest Hess, whose mother was Jewish, making him a full Jew in the eyes of Nazi Germany must have held a special place to Adolf Hitler as newly found documnets have Hitler directing Himmler, the author of the Final Solution, that Hess "not be in-opportuned in any way whatsoever."

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
