Dear all,
Anyone who has read or seen So Weit die Fuesse tragen, or "As Far as My Feet Will Carry Me", is surely interested of reading the war record of the man, and seeing a photo of the REAL Clemens Forell. I have so far been unable to google to any info on the real man behind the nom-de-plume.
In the 1950******180;s TV-series based on the book GJR 100 is mentioned in a scene. Any truth to that?
FYI this is the website of the 2001-made movie based on the book, incl an English-language version: www.soweitdiefuessetragen.de
BTW the only fault I noticed in the movie seems to be that they missed putting the Edelweiss on the cap in the opening scene (see website trailer******180;s start). Or perhaps he was not a Gebirgsj******228;ger when that scene took place? Otherwise the movie is very good at small historical details.
Cheers,
Lars
