She was quite aware of the word Kraut as they had tried to machine gun her during a daylight raid in the London area where a messershmitt had flown over at roof level. There were still bullet holes in the front door area last time I visited. The things we would have liked to have asked our parents now that they are dead are numerous the Germanic Head is one.

I don't think Max Bygraves would get away with singing one of his songs from years ago "Why does everybody call me big head".

If shes 90 should be well broken in by now, maybe the Germanic head may come into its own at last as a port of refuge. Auf weidersen pet. If still working over there dus yor ostrian paperwork still do. J von S.

Cappy must be crying in his beer for his German relatives.
Firstly Angela invites all and sundry to come and live in Germany and surprise, surprise, within a few months Berlin police are raiding those onion shaped places of worship where recruitment for I.S. terrorists is taking place! (from msn news site)
then
The biggest car manufacturer in the world and a backbone of the German economy is found to have software in its diesel engine cars that cheats the result of its annual emission control tests, giving a lower reading than when actually driving normally.
The result of all this is at the last count at least 11 million cars (and counting) are affected with the resultant legal class actions most likely causing the collapse of the Volkswagon group, meaning Germany on top of having to fund all those terrorists, sorry migrants, that MMiss Merkel invited, the German people are most likely having to find billions to prop up Volswagon. The knock on effect of all this will probably see the biggest EU economy go down the tube dragging the rest of Europe with it.
A number of years ago I had a Skoda car (great motor) whose engine was supplied by the Volkswagon group so I am seriously thinking of putting in a claim for compo as its engine most likely had this cheating software fitted to its engine management system.

Re: Migrants/Asylum Seekers/Refugees. ??
I don't see why everybody in Europe is panicking over immigrants.
The USA is made up of about 99.9 percent immigrants since 1607 and it's caused no problems.
Providing you discount, gun killings, racism, and an attempt to have the world supply of oil, and starting wars but never winning them.
