hold on, why is the tag 'fiction' on this documentary?

There is an amazing place in Spain, the German Graveyard of Cuacos de Yuste, where there are hundreds of graves of soldiers who died in Spain during WW2. It is specially impressive because Spain didn´t go to war. It makes you think how nonsense it is to see this graves, most of them unknown, so far from his homes and the ones who loved them, but finally in peace. I hope nations will learn from this, but it doesn´t look like...

Lovely docu Joel & David. LOVED your quirky comments at the end Joel (so "Potty")! Am sure if your Grandpa could have chosen a way to go, it would've been just as you described - after a lovely day out with one of his boys & in the city surrounded by his wonderful Grandchildren & Gt Grandchildren, who he adored. I know he'd have been so proud of you & your Dad re-tracing his steps. Incredibly moving, thanks for sharing such a personal part of your family history. Sara xxxx

No, this particular story was not told in 'a Bridge too Far' which had a lot more about my uncle John Frost. Cheers, David Pott

I'm in love with his way of speaking, how sweet it is. It's really good to listen at the beginning. Love, love, love!
