Ha! I see your childhood was similar to mine, Griff.
We also used to play British Army vs Germans in our back garden.
I can remember playing it on holiday on Spain once - the beach
seemed to present an ideal opportunity to re-enact D-Day. But my
Dad made us stop, because the beach was full of Germans. In our
version of D-Day, fortunately they were only sitting around on
beach towels.
