Contents
History[edit]
In 1945, at the end of World War II, Adolf Hitler, inside of his bunker, blamed Bobo, Mr. Burns' teddy bear, for the loss of the war.[1]
The war was originally between Nazi Germany and the French and British soldiers, although America later played a major role in the war, as did Russia and also, on the side of the Nazis, Japan. A unit of the American army was the Flying Hellfish, in which Abraham Simpson was the Sergeant and Montgomery Burns was a Private.[2]
Abraham Simpson's stories[edit]
Abraham Simpson told many stories about the war. He was briefly stationed in England where he met a girl named Edwina and had a child by her, but didn't know about the child until many years later when he returned to England and looked up Edwina.[3] Abe also claimed to have served on a ship that sank, but survived (along with many of his fellow sailors) by riding on sharks until help arrived.[4]
In addition, Abe said he served in the European Theatre where he worked as a land mine detector. In the scene that Abe recalled, he found a mine in the road and gestured for a truck following him to leave the road and drive on the grass. The truck then drove over a land mine in the grass and was blown up. Chagrined, Abe gestured for the next truck following to drive off the other side of the road, where it went over a cliff. Back in the present, Abe said that was how he earned the Iron Cross (a German military decoration).[5]
Abe also said that during the war he had driven a tank, which he had nicknamed "Betsy." Many years later, he was reunited with the tank when he was offered his choice of items from a government warehouse. Abe recognized the tank because of the mangled golf club stuck in one of the treads: "That's where I ran over Bob Hope. Youngster was too sassy for my likin'!"[6]
Montgomery Burns in WWII[edit]
Abe Simpson told of Burns being a member of the Flying Hellfish, a U.S. Army unit.[2] However, Burns also once said that he owned a factory during the war and, like Oskar Schindler, made shells for the Nazis. The difference between them, according to Burns, was that his worked.[7]
