History Lesson

Has anyone heard of Operation Keelhaul?


 

When I was stationed at Fort Benning a friend asked me if he assume my identity if I was killed in action.  I immediately said yes.  This friend was from a Kossack family that had escaped Russia a half step before they were captured by the Red Army.  Given his Kossack surname he had the reasonable expectation of being murdered by the Soviets.
