[Milsurplus] What is it? Clandestine?

[Hubert Miller]

I saw a YouTube story on a German POW who escaped from a plains states camp and made his way to California,

worked his way up through jobs to a successful career, was eventually busted but allowed to become a citizen.

There were parts of the story that were kind of sketchy, like how he explained his accent and how he got around

his draft status when seeking work. But I thought that, with a mix of elements from the Erich Gimpel story, about

a spy who was caught in New York, there's the basis of a pretty interesting movie. Except if he decided to just

drop out of the spy role, one of the first things he would do is dump the radio. I haven't worked out that part yet.



This is maybe also a reminder that we should have some kind of documentation of the provenance of things we have,

maybe tag them even. Otherwise they end up like this item, history unknown.
