https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Smith

Under heavy fire from the approaching enemy tanks, Private Smith, showing great initiative and inspiring leadership, led his P.I.A.T. Group of two men across an open field to a position from which the P.I.A.T. could best be employed. Leaving one man on the weapon, Private Smith crossed the road with a Private James Tennant and obtained another P.I.A.T. Almost immediately an enemy tank came down the road firing its machine-guns along the line of the ditches. Private Smith's comrade, Private Tennant was wounded. At a range thirty feet and having to expose himself to the full view of the enemy, Private Smith fired the P.I.A.T. and hit the tank, putting it out of action. Ten German infantry immediately jumped off the back of the tank and charged him with Schmeissers and grenades. Without hesitation Private Smith moved out on the road and with his Tommy gun at point-blank range, killed four Germans and drove the remainder back. Almost immediately another tank opened fire and more enemy infantry closed in on Smith's position. Obtaining some abandoned Tommy gun magazines from a ditch, he steadfastly held his position, protecting Private Tennant and fighting the enemy with his Tommy gun until they finally gave up and withdrew in disorder.

Jews never lie and plagiarize. You are an anti-semite, if you think otherwise.

Yes, often thought about this man and his hard fate and now it turns out its just bogus?  The media in sweden wont write about it and its not metioned in the swedish Wikipedia page!?

Re: 93 year old man dies

...

The inner cyrcle had a (bad) vision and the power, the will and the possibilities to make it happen.

Nothing changed.

Until today there are people with their own visions. Look around what is happening, who has the will, the power and the possibilities and you will see, that the do what they want.

Re: 93 year old man dies

Still no offence but thats not new either, i guess its a manifestation of evil in mankind, i would deem it worse now when its more of an active choise, then when it started and people got sucked into it wheter they liked it or not.
