How much for a bottle in Poland? Saw some in Morrisons the other day for £16 (70cl)

Food / What is your favorite Polish Vodka? [653]

Quite a bit cheaper in Poland then.

Food / What is your favorite Polish Vodka? [653]


Good point, i suppose £16 is the going rate for a decent vodka in the UK. I didn't buy any though. They also had 8 x 500ml boxes of Hobgoblin for £8, what a bargain!

My dad was based in Berlin during the 50s (national service) and he remembers this old war horse colonel who had served all his life in the army and was due to be pensioned off (very reluctantly) His only hope and biggest wish was that the Russians would invade so he wouldn't have to leave.

Not in their own

After the men had been captured they were handed over to German security forces commanded by SS Sturmbannführer Hans Josef Kieffer, the senior German intelligence officer in Paris, and were held in prison in Paris for a month. Kieffer then had the prisoners dressed in civilian clothes and they were taken back to the woods near their base and shot with Sten guns to make it look like a misunderstanding between Allies. One SAS trooper, however, managed to escape the massacre and after the war gave evidence at the Nuremberg trials against Kieffer, who received a death sentence.[3]

In foreign uniforms perhaps.

The order itself stated that

From now on all men operating against German troops in so-called commando raids, even if they are in uniform, whether armed or unarmed, in battle or in flight, are to be annihilated to the last man.... Even if these individuals on discovery ... give themselves up as prisoners, no pardon is on any account to be given.

Didn't tend to go on ops dressed in German uniforms.

SOE maybe but not the raids i mentioned and i have been to Sacsehausen and there is a picture of the British sailors arriving there in what is clearly RN attire.

I do not doubt some Germans were shot "willy nilly" but there was no wholesale order out on what were regular soldiers and not spies.

i think this is what you were after from Arthur Harris

The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them. At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw, and half a hundred other places, they put their rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind.[12][13]
