A CHILDHOOD NIGHTMARE

I was about 7 or 8 years old when Where Eagles Dare was shown on TV one evening. My parents let me stay up late to watch it because they knew I liked military-based films. My dad had recently taken me to watch A Bridge Too Far at the local cinema after I had constantly mithered him to take me.

My dad took me to bed, switched the light off and went downstairs.

About an hour later he heard me shouting, and ran upstairs to find me having a nightmare and shouting "fuck off you nazi bastards!".

I was 7 or 8 years old.

I wonder who I was.
