Astronomer Sir Patrick Moore has revealed he still hates the Germans, seven decades after his beloved fiancée was killed in a bombing raid. The 89-year-old has warned there "may be another war" and added "the only good Kraut is a dead Kraut" as he disclosed his thoughts on Europe, Sky at Night and his late love. Saying a German general once told him "You won two wars. You won't win the third." Sir Patrick admitted he hoped the prediction, which referred to an 'economic war' would be proved wrong. "We must take care," he told the Radio Times. "There may be another war. The Germans will try again, given another chance. A Kraut is a Kraut is a Kraut. "The Germans tried to conquer us. The French betrayed us. The Belgians did very little and the Italians made us our ice cream. "The English are best. Stand up for England!" Sir Patrick, who suffers from a spinal injury sustained in the war which flared up a decade ago, also insisted he would keep a promise to his Group Captain to never speak of his battle record and maintained his history would remain a secret. It is rumoured he performed remarkable heroics as a young Flight Lieutenant, with a distinguished career in intelligence, all as yet unconfirmed by Sir Patrick himself. But, he added, he had a "rather interesting war" after "fiddling" his age and medical records to become an officer at 17. - www.genesisgrid.co.uk
