Wolfgang the bratty man Soltau Trg Area.

If you could'nt find the Russians this man would have found them. Legend has it ,he was the worlds greatest German recce soldier. But left to assume a undercover career as a Bratty man just in case the Russians invaded. Thats why he was kitted out with Clansman to bring down Arty fire on the Third Shock Army as it rolled past his unsurspecting bratty van in a laybe but during peace time Trg he would join in the Exe as directed by HQ 1 UK BR Corps. lol

I found this group on Facebook of the Legend. If HM the Queen should read this post , Give him a MBE please.

I hate to spoil the "Mystique" that surrounds Wolfgang but it is my firm belief that he handed out free Bratwursts (mit Zenf) to senior members of the Kommandanteur at Hohne in exchange for copies of each Regiments daily "Pink". I also informed my Kids that Father Christmas was not a real person

Methinks you chaps had a very easy time of it....What with NAAFI vans and your own braty man. While we mere mortals had to make do with the nearest German pub..Oh it was a hard life

Shelldrake, I hope you were joking about Father C. You are not going to burst the bubble I have lived in for all of these years. I told my kids he was real 'cos he was. I know because I saw him in the market... and at the Sudring.... and in the Mess.... and lots of places - so there!

ChrisP - PM me, something I need to tell you!

I'm not listening - la la la la!!!

you will be telling us rudolph is a figment of imagination next, you realy are not nice people,ginger

No, Rudolph is real - Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen aren't.

And who has been googling the names of the reindeers then?!!! Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing that jolly fat man that sits me on his knee at Christmas and puts his arms around me.

I knew them all (ish).

Sounds like the line up of a Yank tank squadron, don't it ?

Or BritCav Sqn Ldrs Vehs.

Wolfgang used to confound us.

We would turn up at our Harbour area dragging along an Armd Engr Troop as well and he would be set up ready and waiting for us. We would have had wagons bogged in while struggling to make it and he would have no problem.

The last time I was on SLTA before the big womble clean up and hand back he had his blue van and a white one doing the rounds. He loved swapping a pile of pint teabags for a brattie or frikkie.

3 Attachments to artillery units and now this . Shelldrake you are a cruel man. My children tried to tell me this once, but who can believe children.... They are such big fibbers.
