Probably got to be a elderly lady in Europe cranki
Tho, it's a couple of years since we last met and it may be that she has departed this world by now. Shit.. just check that... yes, she was in Switzerland and died in 2001 at age 81.
She had an amazing career and experiences, briefly... born in Germany, - she was a Luftwaffe pilot from her teens. During WW2 she flew fighter aircraft from the "backlines" to the "frontlines" for action.
There came a time when she considered other elements above her military career. She decided it was time to get out of the "Reich regime" and best way to escape was "borrow" a fighter aircraft..
So... she packed her two young children into the cockpit of this aircraft and flew up the to front battle line, but never stopped there. Instead she flew over the frontline into allied territory.
She explained what happened then... she landed in a field in the middle of what appeared to be a fair number of tanks... all spread out over a large area and all heading towards the front. She landed OK, but within minutes there were tanks coming out of forests and thru bushes and aiming straight for her. She opened the cockpit and stood up and waved her hands around to try and indicate she was not a threat and her children started popping up and were seen. The urgency cooled down and all was fine.
After the war, and being a social responsible person, she set up what was then a "family planning" org in Germany - this kinda expanded into a mail order biz. That grew with what we now know as sex toys and ranges of videos and other erotica were added.
Her organization ended up manufacturing/producing everything from porn mags, video, sex cosmetics blah. What was immediately noticeble about her biz activities was that she was highly professional - down to the logos on the staff canteen ashtrays.
Her business org still continues today and is a stock market quoted company with around .. dunno... 1000 - 1400 employees.
