With 475 stories of this 500 story block either completed or updated recently, I only have 25 stories to address with updates. One of the recent submissions was a strange story called "Old Soldiers Never Die" I started it in 2014 and am on chapter 10 as of this writing. My age precludes a lengthy ending and I view it as probably a 12 chapter story. I use the adjective "strange" because it is about a German soldier called Karl Steiner. My father passed during WWII and my mother served as a female MP handling POWs at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. In my early military career, I spent two years in the iron barred basement of a former SS Regiment repairing and caring for small arms for our border patrol of the East German border. Our tanks would cover the Fulda Gap practicing retrograde moments because we were outnumbered 20 to 1 by the opposing Russian tanks only a short distance away. I always discerned a difference between the members of the Nazi party and the rank and file of the German Wehrmacht and even some of the Wehrmacht soldiers were tagged with Nazi party membership just by their military occupation like ordinary tank crew members or snipers. I have no liking of Nazi thoughts and I have a deep seated revulsion of Hitler's program of genocide against the Jewish people.
