My grandad was in the commandos in WWII and was one of the 4 men sent to kill Rommel in the Middle East. Anyway, he wasn't there, they got caught and were set in front of the firing squad. Rommel appears and tells the soldiers to let them go. In the 50s or 60s there was a film made about it, Desert Rats I think, one of the actors plays my granddad. Willie Miller waves and says Hi to my dad all the time. Even stopping talking on his mobile to shout hello. However, my dad has no idea why and claims not to know him at all. I'm convinced it's because they look like brothers.
