We also need to check in with Gefreiter Ernst Paulus and our Polish friend, Jan Kołodziej. Last time I mentioned them was back in August when they had a run-in with Telitsyn's partisans. Jan's friend Kazimir Dutka was killed in action at that time.
As well as them, we need to get back in touch with Flight Lieutenant Reginald Morley, recently liberated from his brief Italian captivity. Which we shall when we get back to North Africa, a post I'm working on (fitfully) at the moment.
Was going to hit that post Wednesday night but sheer exhaustion caught up with me. 'Tis been a long stretch since I had a good day off. But a three day weekend is in the offing. We needs it Precious, yes, we does.
So that's what's going on, brief as it may be, it's something.
I hear my rack calling to me, ciao!
I always liked the look of the British cruiser tanks, like if Jaguar designed and built tanks. Too bad they sucked as bad as they did, like Jaguar actually designed and built them. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your rack time.
I had a model of one as a kid, really like the look of that thing. Looks almost modern, if you don't look too closely at all those exposed rivets!
DeleteA cast of thousands.....er...hundreds.....ah.....dozens at least. Use that long weekend to rack up some "z" time, Ciao Sarge.
ReplyDeleteI do need the recharge.
DeleteOnce you figure the record keeping out you can write a book on how to keep track of all the different stories & characters! :-)
ReplyDeleteHahaha!

Concur with the management of characters and storylines. You do a fine job of it.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I do wonder is that you do not feel the need to take breaks more often, considering the heavy sorts of material you are dealing with.
Some days it becomes all too much, so I take a break. Normally I can keep up the pace depending on what's going on with real life!
