Rats. At 975 pounds a copy, I’ll just have to wait for it to come out in paperback. (I think it would sell well among WWII history buffs, though).

Even the paperback will weigh too much. Imagine moving it without a Hi-Lo.

“What color is the boat house at Herfordshire?”

A Google search states its a pub and in the satellite map, its sort of a light grayish colored building. But I get the impression, that's not the answer for which you're looking. ;)

There is no boat house at Herfordshire, as Sean Bean discovered too late.

Except for De Niro’s appalling pronunciation of ‘Hereford’.

A guy I worked with used to tell me stories of his Croatian American father working with the resistance behind the lines in the former Yugoslavia during the war. Sounded like some very brutal bloody work. There was an SAS connection there but I never could quite follow whether they were simply working with or actually for the SAS.

Brave dudes. What a shame that they chose to nationalize health care and send their country into a death spiral.
