I am sure it could well have happened like that Teribus but nothing in this life is certain. What you are failing to allow for is unforeseen circumstances. There is nothing wrong with that. None of us can because they are, well, unforeseen. And the war still did not start in 1938 and my Dad was not killed in Poland. Both due to circumstances not foreseen by the German high command!

Out of interest you may be able to help me map my Dad's journey if you would. Not on this thread though - PM?
