Vilkas' Story

[hammer]

Some of you may know the story of Vilkas, a long-time member of JG11. The short version is he was conscripted by the Luftwaffe from his home in Lithuania at the age of 13 to act as an interpreter and AA gunner. The longer version is fascinating and can be found here.

Very nicely done, Hammer.

We all love you, and are honored for the chance to call you friend, Vilkas.

I've known of Vilkas for many years now and always wanted to know his story. Thank you for sharing it. I can't imagine one of my boys being taken away at 13 to go to war. <SALUTE> Vilkas !

I've always enjoyed talking to Vilkas, great gentleman and a good friend.

One of the nicest guys in the sim and a pleasure to fly with. He's got good taste in dogs as well.

Ah vilkas is a very cool guy. I have only seen or heard him in FSO and he says Sukov! and then something in a language I don't understand  

I imagine its something good but he could be ribbing me and I would never know it.
