In Britain, France and other countries, the death of a World War I veteran makes national headlines these days. Not in Germany. The man believed to have been the last surviving soldier to have fought in the Imperial German Army passed away quietly in Hanover on Jan. 1.

***The article states that he lived to be 107! What an rich, full amazing life he must have led. It's a real pleasure to hear the experiences of world events by those who lived them first hand, and how somber it is that when they die- it is as if a book dies.

"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate , tireless
minority keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men. "
--Samuel Adams
