Hollywood star Marlene Dietrich kissing American soldier Carus Olcott, who was returning to New York during World War II, 1945.
Carus Olcott was 23. His ship was returning from Europe where the 2nd Infantry Division had fought in the Battle of the Bulge.
"I didn't know, at 23, I didn't know necessarily that she was the greatest thing in the world," Olcott said. "They said she was a movie star, I was in the mood for kissing."
Carus Olcott passed away in 2021 at 97 years old.
Never forgot Tommy Ruth building a ramp then pouring gasoline on it getting ready to light it when Chris Demetriades mother came running out screaming…..the good old days
