Well here's the here's the last question I think Dave is going to ask you
something here, but you're retired now. What do you do, you still running
? Well I'm still drinking pilsen beer? Pilsen definitely not much, but I
do because it's one of the best beers in the world. Not only because of I
say that but because of the encyclopedias. Well that's the original came
from the type of doing and I I'm very busy with the internet.
Unfortunately. I probably spent every day at least three hours searching
that deleting mostly stuff that you get sometimes and you especially I
have two addresses. I have the official A. S. U. And then I have yahoo
that I didn't want to things getting into. We're in business and I get a
lot of garbage there. Everybody wants you to buy something. And you said
that not so much on A. S. U. And I think we have a good control here. Yeah.
Firewall. Right. So that's one of the things I do run. Well I shouldn't
say actually I erased yesterday
was down 5K. But I got a third place among the old timers but I I can't
really, but I would qualify as running so strong jog or fast walk because
I got a new hip. I got an artificial hip. In fact I'm going to see the
doctor who operated on me this afternoon. It's been about two years.
Yeah. No it's it's I understand titanium and it's okay, but I guess the
other reason that I can run much faster? It's also getting old. You know
what can you do? So exercise on the other three days I run four I say
always run but it's not running I'm out for four days a week and three
times I go to the regime so that's my exercise part. I try to eat healthy
so that I can do they think about reading almost reading anything like
that. But especially modern history in World war two.
When we were in Saudi actually they were showing a movie not the Saudis
because Saudis at that time
but there was a remarkable was a very good american company next door.
Yeah and even women could drive there but only on the air uncle campus and
I used to run their sometimes when my wife took some classes there and I
would wait for her because I drive her there but it was across the fence
but you have to go around a couple of miles to remain entrance And so then
they were showing movies and I took my son to a movie who was Reinhard
Heidrick. Yeah, I know that name.
That's right. He would have liked him to be his successor and he was,
there was a book that's called H H H. Himmler is in Germany. Himmler is
hearing Heron hydrate which translated means Himmler's brain. His name is
hydrate. If you translate into english from german because hydrate was the
brains behind and hide direct became hey What they call the protector in
Prague in 1941
september I remember that right.
And
he was very, you know, he led a lot of intelligence here. He executive
during the the former premier Premier of government. Premier of I was in
Czechoslovakia and was called protector protect, protectorate of bohemia
moravia. And he
for serving he tried to improve the production because the checks had it's
called a and several other factories. Some of them are known by these
names in Bern. Oh they were making guns was made in everything.
Yes, yes. And there were a lot of sabotage and people slowing down and
they were not getting enough from So Hitler or other Himmler, I don't know.
Hitler decided that sent him to bohemia the frog. And he was really, he
first removed all the resistance or to speak killed almost everyone
executive. That's why I call it. They call him Hitler's henchmen. Well, he
did the same thing in Germany too. And then he started really helping the
blue collar people factories. He was giving them extra rations. He was
giving them extra shoes, boots, mostly for the work and the factories and
and recreation. He started actually people say what the communist started
using after the war that started hydra equality during the war. He sent
them for two weeks to a spot some kind of a so so he was popular among the
workers. But the London government in one game of course not worry
examining him. So they decided to assassinate him. They sent two
paratroopers several more but these two were assigned to kill him and they
killed him eventually even though if the Germans of Peninsula and he
wouldn't have died he died of
hospital. But it was a good they say the biggest nazi ever killed during
world war. I mean there were hundreds of generals and everything but he
was the the top Hitler, Himmler Heidrick and my son and he saw it first
he said wow. And we were going to Prague and our May one trip back we were
driving from Germany we stayed with our friends in Germany near Munich and
my daughter refused to go. She said she was scared. And so my wife stayed
with her and only me and my son
rented a car in Germany and drove to Prague and when we drove down that
street where it happened in fact they celebrated or whatever remember it
every june 18th and then when it happened
the parachute is we're hiding in a church. Unfortunately you know one of
the paratroopers big trade. The whole thing went to the gestapo in Prague
and they just Like 24 hours before they evacuated from their church. The
Germans found out where they were and there was a it's somewhat
embarrassing thing for the Germans for the guy was named Karl Hermann
frank and the S. S because it took them they were seven people in the
church and it took them about half a day to overcome them shooting you
know until they all of them have shot themselves the paratroopers or took
the poison. They had cyanide pills And when they finally prevailed as as
all these guys were that and I drove on that street
and I said look on your right to my son thing is still there another like
ventilating windows. There is an underground when they were you know in
the catacombs
sleeping and hiding and because it's full of bullet holes around so they
left it stay there is like tablets there, you know about this, the
communist didn't like it very much because these were people who came from
London not from Moscow and but still you know now it's national
commemoration every year. People bring flowers and speeches and whatever
but my son when we drove he said stop, stop, I want to look at him. I said
I can't stop traffic behind me. So I found a parking unfortunately it was
in those days they didn't ever have a traffic in Prague 79 that was yeah
the years of normalization what they call. And so we found parking went up
there and I rang the bell. The guy came and said sorry the church is
closed for repairs, come on. You know the story coming from Saudi Arabia
going home. My son born in the United States and he's interested. I've
never seen that. And I gave him a couple of american cigarettes, a couple
of packages. I mean that's always open doors in those days everywhere,
parking american cigarettes
come on. And he gave us a tour and that was one worker that was working
and the guy knew a lot too. So he they both gave us. I already knew that
actually because I was there right after the war but there was 50 years
back. Well thank you very much. Vladimir. That was great story. I probably
gave you more than you ever one day. But as I said my the previous part of
life wasn't simple. As I said you know five or point here after going to
elementary school, Secondary School College and maybe got one job and then
I would come to A S. U. That would be it would be like four chapters or
something. I got about 20.
Thank you very much.
