Thumbs up Re: Tom Cruise films World War II drama in Victor Valley
Thank you for the clarification on this Kai ;-) I had always thought it was the latter but thanks for letting me know. I wonder if there are aby good books about Stauffenberg?

On 7 April von Stauffenberg becomes one of the casualties of the Allied offensive, suffering serious injuries during an air raid on German positions in the Tunisian desert. He looses his left eye, right hand, and the fourth and fifth figures of his left hand, and comes close to death.
