For Veteran's day..........
I know this is a tow vehicle forum so I thought in honor of veterans on Veteran's Day I would share what I have found lately. Much has been said about Detroit lately, much of it not in the positive...

She said the POW's were treated so well that when the war was over a lot of them did not want to go back to Germany.
It happened with mainly Italian POWS captured in the Western Desert and sent as far away as possible, Australia. Many did not want to go back This prisoner came back to Australia in 1948 as a Migrant.
Within a week he was trusted to be in
the house alone in the evening, and the
following day he went fishing with Mr Ja
rman. More surprisingly, within two weeks
his employer drove him to meet a local
Italian civilian, Giovanni Gervasi, also from
Friuli (Nimis), who was a brick manufacturer
in Clare. A week later he spent the
whole Sunday at Gervasi’s and noted in his di
ary: “I am beside myself. It just may be
possible. We eat Friulan-style food”.
