This time last year we had a couple staying in one of our gites and they were visited by her parents - English Mum, German Dad. 70th Anniversary got mentioned, father slowly stated " I was four years old and we were staying in our country cottage, when at night I heard the aeroplanes over head, and the explosions. In the morning I went down to the lake, and went back and told my Mother someone had pulled out the plug in the Edersee". Stunned silence all round
