    Just as an aside it's interesting that only three of the dams are usually remembered, and most people forget about the Schwelme when talking about the raid.

    But it is a example of the ways that these liars, fantasists and conmen operate, they tend to come from "very small" places, where they think others would not have any knowledge to contridict them. Its when like the "dambuster", he goes public, that they get into contact with thoise who do have the knowledge!

    He could now face crimminal charges as he was wearing medals that he was not entitled to!

    I think it is a terrible way of gaining notoriety.

    The worse part is how do you make an example of someone in their eighties?
