I’m not sure of this story.
WW II ended 75 years ago, so the alligator was supposedly alive the entire war from beginning to end.
Alligators are cold blooded, unless Berlin and Moscow had special locations to keep them from freezing I don’t see how either location could have supported an alligator.
Besides if the alligator is really 84 years old which is not unheard of, it would have been born in 1936, where would you get an alligator in Berlin in 1936 and have the facilities to keep it alive all this time...
Don’t forget the deadly cold front that hit Europe during the Battle of the Bulge in December, 1944.
I think Germans had more exigent concerns than an alligator, assuming it wasn’t used for food by then.
I was thinking the same thing. I’m calling’s BS on this story.
They had heating technology in Berlin and Moscow in the 1940s.
