The luckiest man of WWII

Would have to be Jacob Shepetinsky Isaakovich, a Jewish man who survived the ghetto, Partisan war, Strafbat (Red Penal Battalion), and Gulag.

Great story and would make an excellent movie-providing hollywoodland doesn't get their filthy paws in on the project.

 

Tom Cruise as Jacob Isaakovich??

 

Yupper that fellow did have more than his share of good fortune. I would place his survival right up there with the Japanese fellow who was a salesman in Hiroshima on August 6th, survived the blast and returned home to Nagasaki just in time for the second atomic to be dropped on the 9th.

Lived through both of them. Can you imagine the conversation he might have had with his wife upon his return? "What a day I had, one bomb destroyed the entire city!"

"Surely you jest." says she, KABOOM!

Later that day;"Told ya so."

 

And here I thought it was the Lancaster rear gunner who rode the tail section of his Lanc to the ground after it had been blown off. He walked away from it.

 

you know, I live many miles away from Texas .. but I can actually see lots of steam shooting out from Carl's ears right now! lol

Hey guys, what do you think about having Susan Sarandon narroate it?

Hehe, I think Carl just passed out!!

Carl, I'm just messing with ya buddy!

Suzie :eyebrows:

 

True that.

 

That link looks like it is going to take me awhile to read. Thanks for the link it looks something really worth while to read.

 

Compelling story. Should be a movie.
