Yeah, I did see some of that, particularly the Orroral tracking station where the gardener was a german, quite a lot of the staff were poms, and he got 'herman the german' quite a bit of the time. Took it very well, just ignored it basically. Another mate of mine was a german engineer who had migrated here after the war. Never saw him or his wife get any crap at all and he wasn't built like a brick shit house or anything. >>memories from 3-4 yo - being snatched out of bed by my mother and >>carried to the air raid shelter coz a bunch of foreigners were >>approaching with the intention of killing us. > > Was that in Darwin? He's a pom.
