It would be amazing if that German sniper were still alive and they somehow were able to meet. Sweet story.

This is really old. It did the rounds at least three years ago, to the best of my recollection. But it's a nice video so, no matter.

This is really old. It did the rounds at least sixty-five years ago, to the best of historical record. But it's a nice story so, no matter.

There was a scene in the movie American Pop that was similar to this, but it didn't have a good ending for the musician.
