he said the germans would booby trap the dead bodies, and the result was less german prisoners taken. the american soldiers stopped risking anything at that point. this is a very interesting photograph that patton took. a lot of the stuff he takes is of ancient ruins or of the troops. but this, look at this. the top here is an arrow, and at the bottom, right about there is another arrow. what he did is looked at this german tank, and said, you know what, the germans are adding more armor to the front and in front of the machine gun. we need to do the same. so he took these pictures, put the arrows on it and mailed it to the aberdeen proving grounds in maryland and said, guys, we need to do this. not only is photography a hobby of his, it has a practical aspect to it. this is his headquarters in polermo. it was previously occupied by some of mouse lynny's troops and commanders. patton said he slept on a stack of three bedrooms in the bedroom, and all the maids and butlers gave him the fascist salute everywhere he went. he said he loved this. the british are having trouble pushing north

this is a dead german. patton in his photo albums called this a good german. and he took so many pictures of dead germans that he started writing "gg" underneath for good german. he said germans would boony tbop the dead bodies. i think the american soldiers stopped risking anything at that point. this is a very interesting photograph that patton took. a lot of the stuff he takes is of ancient ruins or of the troops of different things. but look at this. the top here is an arrow. and at the bottom right about there is another arrow. and what he did is he looked at this german tank and said, you know what? the germans are adding more armor to the front and in front of the machine gun. we need to do the same. so he took these pictures, put the arrows on it and mailed this to aberdeen proving grounds in maryland and said guys, we need to do this. so not only is photography sort of a hobby of his, it has a practical aspect to it. this is his headquarters in palermo. it was previously occupied by some of mussolini's troops and commanders. and patton said he slept o

germans didn't have a thousand submarines in 1942. and so it's either laughable or it's just not that important. you know, who had dinner with whom last night and what they said. in the end the crook factory tapers off and is dissolved for a couple of reason, one is that ernest's heart really isn't in it. he liked it at first but once they got into it he wondered if there is something else he could do for the war effort. the other is the embassy got disenchanted with supporting it and thought there was something different. in the long run there was the fbi. the irony is is that there was one german spy in havana names heintz luning. he was something like a draft dodger. didn't want to get sent to the eastern front in uniform so he thought, well, i'm going to be a spy and join the upfair and they said, well, you speak spanish, you lived in latin america, and we're going to send you to havana and we want you to keep an eye on shipping. he does some of that, but a lot of the time he's drinking and chasing women. so he's just the kind of

where are the germans? it's recon by fire and german fire. he goes until germans shoot at him. then he says they must be over there. slightly more sophisticated ops are conventional patrolling. capturing and interrogating german prisoners. they capture more german prisoners than they can handle and don't have people to guard them. so ernest says have them take off their pants, they won't run away. and put them to work at the kitchen. so if you went to the kitchen here, there's german prisoners that don't have anything on below the waist and ernest has them peeling potatoes. so they also use local knowledge. they talk to people who live in the area that the troops are going to pass through on the way to paris and get information about the germans and the passability of roads and this sort of thing. it's good intel, and bruce makes sure it works its way up the chain. gets to the operators who are going to need it. it's not spectacular. it's not award winning. it's solid intelligence. ernest gets at least a b-plus for this. then the push to paris happens. it fills up with everybod

it's to spy on the germans, to figure out what german units, what german fortifications are in the area, what strength and so forth. and it's also to work with the french underground to get them reading on the same sheet of music as the allied forces, not doing things that the allies -- that the uniformed allies are uncomfortable with. so bumby does a pretty good job at this. he fits in well and makes a contribution. he does take time off every so often to go fly fishing, another very hemingway touch, and on one occasion he's fly fishing in a stream by himself and a german patrol comes by. he's wearing sort of a nondescript oss field uniform and really the only insignia on it is an american flag on one shoulder. lucky for him the germans walking by see the other shoulder, they say something in german, probably not really complimentary, laugh, and walk on. bumby's luck does run out in the fall of 1944. he's in a fire fight. he's severely wounded and he's captured. the germans treat him pretty well. they do realize he's a hemingway. in fact, he runs into the boyfriend of his former nanny

my sense is that for german, ethnic germans there was that sense of affiliation or bond. i mean, you see it in someone like a nietzsche, but you see also that longing to connect to nietzsche, to feel that nietzsche was a sibling soul also extends to people who were not ethnically, ethnically german. i'd make one more point on that, and that is that nietzsche in the early years of his posthumous fame as it were in america was seen as a polish, was as polish, ethnically polish and not german. nietzsche had described himself as the descendant of polish achris accurates, and -- aristocrats, and partly this was to criticize germany and so this is picked up and actually becomes a big subject of conversation and debate. and i think it's very interesting. so nietzsche is polish in american intellectual life until world war i, and it's at that point that nietzsche becomes seen as the monster or the inspiration of the german mind. so nietzsche becomes german, but he starts out polish, and i think this is often said to criticize nietzsche. if he were german, we'd get him better, rig

the ongoing situation in the german jobs market was not honored. traders are wondering if the good mood in the beginning of the year might have been too optimistic. them to optimistic has been said in a lot lately. let's look at how the markets in europe and the session on thursday. in frankfurt, the dax saying goodbye to the day, down by almost 2%. lots of losses there. the your stocks 50 in the same vote. in new york, dow jones right now trading at 13,095, down about 0.25%. on currency markets, the euro going for $1.3290. in france, the gunman who killed seven people including three children at a jewish school has been buried. >> the body was laid to rest in a cemetery on the outskirts of to lose -- toulouse. his father wanted him buried in germany, but police refused. >> if you were watching yesterday, you might have seen our report on women in afghanistan who could face jail if they run away from home or have sex outside of marriage. >> in a moment, we will be turning our attention to morocco. activists are angry at the government about laws th

my sense is that for germans, as the germans there was that sense of affiliation or bond. you see it. but you see also that lining to connect, to feel that he was a sibling sold, also extended to people who are not ethnically german. one more point on that. that is that in the early years of his posthumous fame as it were in america was seen as a polish, as polish, ethnically polish and not german. described himself as the defendant -- descended a polish aristocrats and partly away for him to criticize germany. and so this is picked up and actually becomes a big subject of conversation and debate. and that is very interesting, so he's polish and american intellectual life until world war one. it is at that point that he becomes seen as the monster or the inspiration of the german mind. he becomes chairman but he starts out polish making and polish made him exotic . apennines.

this gave a boost to german shares here. optimism is great, but there is of course some nervousness also here on the frankfurt floor. but it seems that investors are very sure that this deal will work and that this will be a step to help increase and to help to solve the debt crisis. >> we had a news from the ecb moments ago. they're having their monthly policy meeting. they held rates steady. we will get a press conference as soon. what is expected from the ecb? >> as a few months ago, too, investors bought before that interest rates would be unchanged, would remain unchanged. of course they're very curious to know what mario draghi, the ecb president, has to say about his monetary policy. if he sticks to his monetary policy of cheap money for the financial sector and, of course, people will look very carefully to what he says. at the moment, also here they're very optimistic that the quantitative easing policy will remain. this helps shares to rise. the dax is up by more than 2%. the euro stoxx 50 rises by 1.75%. the euro
