I'm terribly sentimental, sometimes at very inappropriate times. Yesterday I was watching a YouTube video that was a short film (not a professionally produced film) showing German soldiers returning from Czechoslovakia and heading home to Germany. Every manner of vehicle was coming down the highway, from horse-drawn wagons to full-tracked vehicles. They had obviously surrendered, technically, although there were weapons visible. American soldiers were much in evidence along the highway. As background music, Marlene Dietrich was singing, in German, Lili Marleen. That's one of those songs that for some reason will always bring tears to my eyes. The German soldiers looked happy, though. That would have been about the same time that my father would have been returning home after a year's captivity in Germany.
I'm probably mentioned this before but I enjoy old B-movies, especially ones like the Charlie Chan, Lash LaRue, Nancy Drew and a host of others that were produced as series up into the 1950s.
