He Makes Jason Bourne look like a shopping mall security guard. Yet while the professor possesses extraordinary deep knowledge of the underground resistance in Eastern Europe during WW II, he's apparently quite vague when it comes to talking about his own role: “I was dreaming of beautiful French girls. I was 16. Let’s not kid ourselves."
