Been to see my best mate, his missus and his elderly GERMAN MiL who had been in the Hitler Youth. They are staying about 2 miles along the coast.
We were chatting about holidays. Big Sis was talking about a chateau in Normandy she had stayed at. Former GESTAPO HQ which was badly shot up by the departing GERMANS in the aftermath of D DAY. Some rooms had been left as they were to demonstrate the intent of the GERMAN damage. Etc.
I watch in horror as this historical account continued. Eventually, I had to blurt out, "I cannot believe you have mentioned the war."

all round
