...barefoot, at 35 degrees below zero! With only one piece of mouldy 
bread per week to eat... and not to forget the bomber attacks, the 
constant threat of wolves and Bolshevist partisans in the forests! I, 
for example, know of people having grown up in the Hungereifel, the 
highlands south-west of Cologne, where World War II only in the 1980s 
slowly dissipated, where blood feuds continue up to this very day, in 
villages where the local priest was the only literate person (and many 
people, due to the almost non-existing nourishment, even never learned 
to speak!)...

Yes, that praised-be-what-makes-us-hard-nostalgia is really annoying...

See you in Khyberspace!
