Grazie lei, Lupo! Joscha

Guy Sajer never existed, and he never was where he said he was. He was from some Alsatian village, was drafted into the German Army, and must have spent time with the the swine of Dirlewanger, the so-called 36th WSS division..

Many of us are not computer whizzes, don't forget this, Jason. Lots of wasted time and motions associated with the new set-up. Joscha

:?: Jason, do you have a GPS, or at least a precise map and a compass available in your sales store? Need all of this to find my way through the new lay out. Sorry, I don't like it.
