Old SF

"Old SF" was a little bit of everybody.

And the Europeans were invaluable for all the right reasons.

Thorne was one of the best. A rightful legend in SF.

As for all the Nazi stuff...

When I went through the "Q" course part of our required reading was "The Devil's Guard" - which has been republished and is available.

And the US GOV didn't have any problems with Germans/Nazis - Werner Von Braun and his rocket team were recruited and whisked away to the US with no issues and they were responsible for the V1 and V2 blitz against England.

RIP, Larry Thorne.
