“O.K., we’ll skip that. When he served in the army of General Markos, did he come across any Germans fighting with it?”

“No.”
“Ask him if he knows of anyone who actually took part in the truck ambush who’s still alive.”
“He knows of nobody.”
“Surely they can’t all be dead. Ask him to try and remember.”
“He knows of nobody.”
