WEBVTT 00:00:00.340 --> 00:00:03.877 Well here's the here's the last question I think Dave is going to ask you 00:00:03.910 --> 00:00:07.627 something here, but you're retired now. What do you do, you still running 00:00:07.660 --> 00:00:15.496 ? Well I'm still drinking pilsen beer? Pilsen definitely not much, but I 00:00:15.529 --> 00:00:20.947 do because it's one of the best beers in the world. Not only because of I 00:00:20.980 --> 00:00:26.296 say that but because of the encyclopedias. Well that's the original came 00:00:26.329 --> 00:00:34.146 from the type of doing and I I'm very busy with the internet. 00:00:34.179 --> 00:00:38.807 Unfortunately. I probably spent every day at least three hours searching 00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:45.766 that deleting mostly stuff that you get sometimes and you especially I 00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:50.226 have two addresses. I have the official A. S. U. And then I have yahoo 00:00:50.259 --> 00:00:57.006 that I didn't want to things getting into. We're in business and I get a 00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:00.737 lot of garbage there. Everybody wants you to buy something. And you said 00:01:00.770 --> 00:01:07.206 that not so much on A. S. U. And I think we have a good control here. Yeah. 00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:14.727 Firewall. Right. So that's one of the things I do run. Well I shouldn't 00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:18.956 say actually I erased yesterday 00:01:18.989 --> 00:01:26.117 was down 5K. But I got a third place among the old timers but I I can't 00:01:26.150 --> 00:01:32.796 really, but I would qualify as running so strong jog or fast walk because 00:01:32.829 --> 00:01:37.497 I got a new hip. I got an artificial hip. In fact I'm going to see the 00:01:37.530 --> 00:01:45.530 doctor who operated on me this afternoon. It's been about two years. 00:01:46.340 --> 00:01:54.340 Yeah. No it's it's I understand titanium and it's okay, but I guess the 00:01:54.540 --> 00:01:58.846 other reason that I can run much faster? It's also getting old. You know 00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:06.706 what can you do? So exercise on the other three days I run four I say 00:02:06.739 --> 00:02:12.897 always run but it's not running I'm out for four days a week and three 00:02:12.930 --> 00:02:20.930 times I go to the regime so that's my exercise part. I try to eat healthy 00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:25.726 so that I can do they think about reading almost reading anything like 00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:33.106 that. But especially modern history in World war two. 00:02:33.139 --> 00:02:36.797 When we were in Saudi actually they were showing a movie not the Saudis 00:02:36.830 --> 00:02:41.006 because Saudis at that time 00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:47.006 but there was a remarkable was a very good american company next door. 00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:52.376 Yeah and even women could drive there but only on the air uncle campus and 00:02:52.409 --> 00:02:58.707 I used to run their sometimes when my wife took some classes there and I 00:02:58.740 --> 00:03:03.656 would wait for her because I drive her there but it was across the fence 00:03:03.689 --> 00:03:11.217 but you have to go around a couple of miles to remain entrance And so then 00:03:11.250 --> 00:03:17.476 they were showing movies and I took my son to a movie who was Reinhard 00:03:17.509 --> 00:03:24.587 Heidrick. Yeah, I know that name. 00:03:24.620 --> 00:03:30.856 That's right. He would have liked him to be his successor and he was, 00:03:30.889 --> 00:03:36.286 there was a book that's called H H H. Himmler is in Germany. Himmler is 00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:44.319 hearing Heron hydrate which translated means Himmler's brain. His name is 00:03:46.469 --> 00:03:51.406 hydrate. If you translate into english from german because hydrate was the 00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:57.837 brains behind and hide direct became hey What they call the protector in 00:03:57.870 --> 00:04:01.506 Prague in 1941 00:04:01.539 --> 00:04:06.807 september I remember that right. 00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:09.406 And 00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:16.127 he was very, you know, he led a lot of intelligence here. He executive 00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:23.467 during the the former premier Premier of government. Premier of I was in 00:04:23.500 --> 00:04:29.567 Czechoslovakia and was called protector protect, protectorate of bohemia 00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:32.796 moravia. And he 00:04:32.829 --> 00:04:39.906 for serving he tried to improve the production because the checks had it's 00:04:39.939 --> 00:04:45.096 called a and several other factories. Some of them are known by these 00:04:45.129 --> 00:04:51.106 names in Bern. Oh they were making guns was made in everything. 00:04:51.139 --> 00:04:57.486 Yes, yes. And there were a lot of sabotage and people slowing down and 00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:02.317 they were not getting enough from So Hitler or other Himmler, I don't know. 00:05:02.350 --> 00:05:08.536 Hitler decided that sent him to bohemia the frog. And he was really, he 00:05:08.569 --> 00:05:12.877 first removed all the resistance or to speak killed almost everyone 00:05:12.910 --> 00:05:19.127 executive. That's why I call it. They call him Hitler's henchmen. Well, he 00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:26.176 did the same thing in Germany too. And then he started really helping the 00:05:26.209 --> 00:05:31.096 blue collar people factories. He was giving them extra rations. He was 00:05:31.129 --> 00:05:36.906 giving them extra shoes, boots, mostly for the work and the factories and 00:05:36.939 --> 00:05:40.986 and recreation. He started actually people say what the communist started 00:05:41.019 --> 00:05:45.926 using after the war that started hydra equality during the war. He sent 00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:53.959 them for two weeks to a spot some kind of a so so he was popular among the 00:05:54.019 --> 00:05:58.837 workers. But the London government in one game of course not worry 00:05:58.870 --> 00:06:03.077 examining him. So they decided to assassinate him. They sent two 00:06:03.110 --> 00:06:08.926 paratroopers several more but these two were assigned to kill him and they 00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:13.387 killed him eventually even though if the Germans of Peninsula and he 00:06:13.420 --> 00:06:18.007 wouldn't have died he died of 00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:23.426 hospital. But it was a good they say the biggest nazi ever killed during 00:06:23.459 --> 00:06:26.846 world war. I mean there were hundreds of generals and everything but he 00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:34.879 was the the top Hitler, Himmler Heidrick and my son and he saw it first 00:06:35.339 --> 00:06:42.257 he said wow. And we were going to Prague and our May one trip back we were 00:06:42.290 --> 00:06:47.556 driving from Germany we stayed with our friends in Germany near Munich and 00:06:47.589 --> 00:06:52.746 my daughter refused to go. She said she was scared. And so my wife stayed 00:06:52.779 --> 00:06:57.207 with her and only me and my son 00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:01.846 rented a car in Germany and drove to Prague and when we drove down that 00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:06.916 street where it happened in fact they celebrated or whatever remember it 00:07:06.949 --> 00:07:12.806 every june 18th and then when it happened 00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:18.937 the parachute is we're hiding in a church. Unfortunately you know one of 00:07:18.970 --> 00:07:24.486 the paratroopers big trade. The whole thing went to the gestapo in Prague 00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:30.757 and they just Like 24 hours before they evacuated from their church. The 00:07:30.790 --> 00:07:35.286 Germans found out where they were and there was a it's somewhat 00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:41.306 embarrassing thing for the Germans for the guy was named Karl Hermann 00:07:41.339 --> 00:07:47.116 frank and the S. S because it took them they were seven people in the 00:07:47.149 --> 00:07:54.577 church and it took them about half a day to overcome them shooting you 00:07:54.610 --> 00:07:59.567 know until they all of them have shot themselves the paratroopers or took 00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:07.600 the poison. They had cyanide pills And when they finally prevailed as as 00:08:07.740 --> 00:08:14.507 all these guys were that and I drove on that street 00:08:14.540 --> 00:08:20.207 and I said look on your right to my son thing is still there another like 00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:24.577 ventilating windows. There is an underground when they were you know in 00:08:24.610 --> 00:08:27.757 the catacombs 00:08:27.790 --> 00:08:33.167 sleeping and hiding and because it's full of bullet holes around so they 00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:38.567 left it stay there is like tablets there, you know about this, the 00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:41.736 communist didn't like it very much because these were people who came from 00:08:41.769 --> 00:08:49.769 London not from Moscow and but still you know now it's national 00:08:49.940 --> 00:08:56.526 commemoration every year. People bring flowers and speeches and whatever 00:08:56.559 --> 00:09:01.337 but my son when we drove he said stop, stop, I want to look at him. I said 00:09:01.370 --> 00:09:07.957 I can't stop traffic behind me. So I found a parking unfortunately it was 00:09:07.990 --> 00:09:14.506 in those days they didn't ever have a traffic in Prague 79 that was yeah 00:09:14.539 --> 00:09:20.807 the years of normalization what they call. And so we found parking went up 00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:26.096 there and I rang the bell. The guy came and said sorry the church is 00:09:26.129 --> 00:09:31.976 closed for repairs, come on. You know the story coming from Saudi Arabia 00:09:32.009 --> 00:09:37.197 going home. My son born in the United States and he's interested. I've 00:09:37.230 --> 00:09:41.917 never seen that. And I gave him a couple of american cigarettes, a couple 00:09:41.950 --> 00:09:46.636 of packages. I mean that's always open doors in those days everywhere, 00:09:46.669 --> 00:09:52.467 parking american cigarettes 00:09:52.500 --> 00:09:58.866 come on. And he gave us a tour and that was one worker that was working 00:09:58.899 --> 00:10:04.526 and the guy knew a lot too. So he they both gave us. I already knew that 00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:10.297 actually because I was there right after the war but there was 50 years 00:10:10.330 --> 00:10:16.766 back. Well thank you very much. Vladimir. That was great story. I probably 00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:24.799 gave you more than you ever one day. But as I said my the previous part of 00:10:25.190 --> 00:10:30.016 life wasn't simple. As I said you know five or point here after going to 00:10:30.049 --> 00:10:35.766 elementary school, Secondary School College and maybe got one job and then 00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:40.476 I would come to A S. U. That would be it would be like four chapters or 00:10:40.509 --> 00:10:45.606 something. I got about 20. 00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:48.250 Thank you very much.
