Eberhard Cohrs

Eberhard Cohrs (4 January 1921 – 17 August 1999) was a German comedian and actor. A short man, he was frequently known as "[der] Kleene mit der großen Gusche", a Saxon dialect epithet which loosely translates as "the little guy with the big mouth".

Life

Early years

The father of Eberhard Cohrs was a hat maker, originally from Uelzen in Lower Saxony. His mother Alma, who also worked in the little hat making business, came from the Vogtland. His first ambition as a youth was to become a jockey. His weight of approximately 40 kg justified this choice, but his legs were too short and he fell back on his second ambition, to be a pastry and cake baker: this was the trade in which he was apprenticed between 1936 and 1939. However, war resumed in 1939 and he was conscripted for military service. As the war neared its end, between September 1944 and February 1945 he was a member of the SS-Totenkopf batallion and a guard at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp, although he was able to conceal these aspects of his war service from the public during his life. By the time the war ended, in May 1945, his mother had been killed in an air-raid and his father was dying.

Soldier Soldier

Soldier Soldier is a British television drama series. The title comes from a traditional song of the same name - "Soldier, soldier will you marry me, with your musket, fife and drum?" - an instrumental version of which was used as its theme music.

Produced by Central Television and broadcast on the ITV network, it ran for a total of seven series and 82 episodes from 1991 to 1997. It featured the daily lives of a group of soldiers in 'B' Company, 1st Battalion The King's Fusiliers, a fictional British Army infantry regiment loosely based on the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers. Set in the immediate aftermath of the Cold War, it is a dramatisation of army life in the early to mid-1990s, when the British Army was undergoing significant change. This is perhaps best demonstrated during the third series, around 1994, when a significant number of real regiments were forced into amalgamations with each other due to downsizing of the army. In the world of Soldier Soldier, the King's Fusiliers are also forced to amalgamate with the Cumbrian Regiment, another fictional regiment, becoming the King's Own Fusiliers. At the time Soldier Soldier was broadcast, the fatality rate was low with most casualties due to training accidents and suicides. The military as a whole was assigned to performing more peacekeeping missions than actually doing any fighting. As a consequence, the show served well to portray the army, despite the domestic problems that could occur, in a fairly good light.

Etymology

The word soldier derives from the Middle English word soudeour, from Anglo-French soudeer or soudeour, meaning mercenary, from soudee, meaning shilling's worth or wage, from sou or soud, shilling. The word is also related to the Medieval Latin soldarius, meaning soldier (literally, "one having pay"). These words ultimately derive from the Late Latin word solidus, referring to an Ancient Roman coin used in the Byzantine Empire.

Occupational designations
