Well, Bull-Dog, to be absolutely honest, I was being a bit cautious with the full truth of the story.
He did, in fact, say exactly that, that he would like Americans in front of him, but joked that he could then keep one eye on them!
He was the most tough-minded guy I ever knew. He always spoke quietly, and when he wanted to dish it out he always wore a slight smile. As his son-in-law, i always found that very disconcerting, so when it happened to me, I would just dive in and challenge him. But not physically I must say.
His brother-in-law, who I mentioned, served in Korea alongside American troops, and was also at Monte Casino - where I had relatives on BOTH sides!
