fanoftheblues Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 In Africa in WW2 there was a battlefield where the Germans and the British had an unwritten agreement that all hostilities finished for the day at 7pm. One evening the Germans reported back to their commander that they had captured an English supply truck, the German commander looked at his watch and asked them when they has got it, 7.30 came the reply, the German commander ordered them to send it back!! However the supplies had already been distributed amongst the German soldiers so this could not happen. The next night at 7.30 the British ambushed and captured TWO German supply trucks.
