German fighter ace claims he shot down the French author Saint-Exupéry
“Horst Rippert, 88, said that he had suffered remorse all his life after discovering that Saint-Exupéry was the pilot that he blew from the Mediterranean sky on July 31, 1944”
(an anecdote illustrating the stupidity of war… i wish it were an antidote)
