German soldiers didn’t shoot him because they thought he was crazy.

Bill Millin, the British army piper who played his bagpipes on Sword Beach during D-Day while under enemy fire, German soldiers didn’t shoot him because they thought he was crazy.

And don't forget Jack Churchill!

[Larry Davis]

Ah yes, Mad Jack. AKA Lieutenant-Colonel John Malcolm Thorpe Fleming "Jack" Churchill. Quite the nutter, but in a good way. See what family money and position in British society will let you get away with. I could not imagine an enlisted man getting away with shooting an enemy combatant with a long bow, let alone having the connections to smuggle it aboard the troop transport. Oh well, different times different values, not like the whiney politically correct days we live in.

Here's to Mad Jack!

Wish we had more like him!

I like the story about his habit regarding when he was on the train and when it passed his house, he would throw his briefcase out of the window!!!
