Oh, you know, sometimes it can happen to read a news long time after the facts happen.
But you look at it, this gentleman died July 22, 2015, the day after my 50th birthday, the day I left Italy for South Sudan ....
There might be something interesting in this coincidence, or maybe not, I do not know.
Who is this gentleman? A Nazi officer convicted in Italy (military court in La Spezia) and Germany (military court of Monaco of Bavaria) for a massacre in Tuscany. One of many that the Nazis did in my country. Not the worst, only 14 died, a small thing ..
But precisely one of the 14 dead was my maternal grandfather. And this gentleman, who was sentenced to two life sentences, has not done a day in a jail.
Boh, in the end, life is like that: a beautiful shit. But if I am so fiercely anti-fascist, anti-Nazi, anti-militarist and anti many other things, I owe it to him: probably the only useful thing of his cursed life.
One day I will come to Ottobrunn to seek your grave, Mr, Scheungraber. I will not do anything special, I do not like antics. But it will be a great pleasure to see you dead.
