News sometimes are so weird, if you would invent them, people would tell you to shut up with this surreal nonsense. Now this: Ivan Rebroff's (remember we posted a small message on his death some time ago:IVAN REBROFF IS DEAD!) brother Horst Rippert is now revealing in a book, that he thinks he shot down the plane of french writer ANTOINE DE SAINT EXUPERY (remember "The Small Prince, Le Petite prince, Der Kleine Prinz") on july 31st 1944. The Messerschmidt pilot, now 88, said he would have held his fire if he had known the man flying the Lightning fighter was the French novelist, because he adored his work. Saint Exupery disappeared on that day, because his plane crashed into the mediterranean sea. Later his golden armband was found by a fisherman and his plane by a diver. But until this day there is no trace of the author. Weird? Yes! Especially when you are German and have this connection to his brother Ivan Rebroff...
