Three famous people need names.

I was born in the 1920's, I never went to school or college,I joined the armed forces at the age of 19yrs. When my father died the family had a huge change to make and my mother took it in her stride which everyone loved. When she died it was a huge loss and not just to the immediate family. I have a son who is into organic farming and believes it to be beneficial to the ecconomy and the Environment. I have travelled extensively and I love my work.


I was born in the 1920's in Germany and I have two brothers, my father was a policeman. At the age of 14yrs I joined the Hitler youth movement but never went to any meetings.I was trained as an infantry man and sent to a POW camp. I became a professor of a university at the age of 32yrs. In 1968 I wrote a book and at the age of 70yrs was turned down for a job.



I was born in the 1920's, I am the eldest of four children, my mother was a nurse and my father a business man. My ancesters emmigrated from England in the 17th centuary and my great grandfather served in the Confederate army. After high school and further education in mathematics I was admitted into the Naval Academy graduating 58th out of 820. After the death of my father I left the navy to run the family business, expanding it to become world renowned one.

Re: Three famous people need names.

They are three really tough ones AB. All I can figure out so far is: They are all men, a Brit, a German, and an American, and they are all aged between 80-90, they were all young men during World war 2 and served in the armed forces. I'll never get the names, but I'll bet someone does, in time.
