Re: [MBZ] WW2 escape tunnel
Thanks for that link - I guess I assumed the movie tunnel was full of extra stuff to make it look better than it was - a little rail track to carry men and dirt in/out with electric lighting every few feet - all seemed a bit more than a bunch of prisioners would be able to scrounge while inside a POW camp! All the wood needed for reinforcing the tunnel must have been a huge challenge. James Garners character, The Scrounger, must have been true to history as well - getting a 35mm camera from the guard, etc - it's an inspiring story of mans ability to overcome challenges. I wonder if S McQueens character really escaped in order to find out what the surrounding area was like? There's a program shown on History Channel from time to time about a group of Air Force POWs who were held in concentration camps instead of POW camps - as bad as a POW camp was, the concentration camp was much worse - obviously. A german air force officer eventually had them transferred to a POW camp which saved their lives. Cannot imagine what it must have been like in a concentration camp. So many people exhibited amazing courage back then and many of their stories are lost forever - many of the French resistance fighters who were captured endured lengthy torture before being executed. The website is really well done - explaining every aspect of the escape tunnel.

This is about the tunnel. It is awesome. The interactive map is also creative, but not nearly as much as the fortitude it took to engineer the escape itself. The animation alone is worth looking at, but the story of the tunnel is amazing. This was the inspiration for the Steve McQueen movie in the 60's. It is a fascinating look at a tunnel that was built in a German POW camp. The tunnel allowed 76 Allied POWs to escape. Check it out. Run your cursor over each number and it will tell you about it.

Re: [MBZ] WW2 escape tunnel
I used to work with and am still in touch with a guy who was one of a handful of Marine Corps officers that saw duty in every major battle in the Pacific theater during WWII. He had buddies that were interred by the Japanese in the Phillipines and participated in the death march. I love to sit and listen to him talk about the battles and what he saw. Some years back there was a guy on one of our lists that was a Marine stationed in Japan. He participated in an annual visit to Iwo Jima where they climbed the mountain and raised flags to be given to veterans. I was lucky enough to get one for my buddy, and was honored to be able to pass it along. Needless to say, he was really impressed and moved by the flag (it had a picture of Iwo Jima and the Marines raising it) and from what I understand it now occupies a prominent place in his home. It's guys like this and his buddies who didn't make it back that we owe much of what we have today to.

The lever actuates four switches: resume, accel, and decel are closed momentarily to perform their functions, the cancel switch is opened momentarily to perform its function. If cancel opens at any other time (like at neutral center) then the cruise won't work.

Re: [MBZ] Given enough time and space, this would be my future
How did I get into Mercedes? Well I have been messing with them for about 20 years. This got started one time when I went with my grandmother to look at a then not that old 115 76 240D for sale in the parking lot of the Walmart. The guy who was selling it was the 2nd owner, who bought it for his daughter, then she decided she didnt want it. Anyway, she had it for many years, I took my drivers test in that car. Then she sold it or let some relative use it or something, anyway, to make a long story sort this relative ran it out of oil and locked the motor. He also hit something and damaged the LF fender. So I bought it from my grandma in '97 and let it sit about a year and I located a parts car (my first parts car purchase actually) and pulled the locked engine out of the 240D. The car sat without an engine till about 2 years ago, when I finally pulled the good engine out of the parts car. Now the car has been sitting without an engine, waiting for me to drop the good engine that is sitting in my garage. So basically, I have had the car 11 years now but still have not completed the project. How is that for being lazy about doing a project!! andrew strasfogel wrote: Hey Kaleb, how did you get into Mercedes anyway? Your heart seems to be elsewhere...

Crap - and I was tilling the garden for Doris! How about a rain check for next weekend? Actually - I need to be getting rid of stuff, so it might not have worked quite the same as it did with Luther.
