(Did ya know ? ... Lt. Col. Benjamin Vandervoort's compound fractured ankle would have been accompanied by bleeding and no weight could have put on it. German general Max Pemsel says: "Wir haben starke RADAR-störungen" or We have strong radar interference. The word "radar" could not have been used as it is possible that it was not even known in Germany in 1944.)
