At least his longevity didn't seem to suffer too much from the years of deprivation. RIP

I loved his courage. I am deeply saddened by this. RIP

Amen to that CC, RIP!

I've always been fascinated by this topic. Read his book "No Surrender: My Thirty-Year War" years ago.

I have just recently, re-read his book.

It is an incredible story.

RIP.

I remember the news when he surrendered! Wow ... that was about 25 years after the war ended.
