[edit] Love life?
The film "The English Patient" implies that his lover's husband initially believed he was a homosexual. I'd like to know whether the real life Almasy may have been a homosexual.
- There were some indications to this direction, including letters to a German pilot that were reputedly love letters. Haven't seen any of them myself, though - Skysmith 10:20, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
- There are letters to Almasy from a German officer, but there is no letter from him. There is no evidence to support the suggested homosexuality, similarly, there is no evidence that Almasy worked for the Nazis. There is evidence he saved Jews during the war and he was helped to escape from Hungary by British intelligence... It is rather unfair to present not facts but fiction as fact, and fabricate evidence for one's interest. 1 feburary, 2006, Almásy Researcher
Almasy is the author of: "With Rommel in Africa" which ought to take care of where his allegiance's lay during WW II.
English authors suggest he was indeed homosexual or possibly bi-sexual.
[edit] Berrow School
Could someone with the books pse check out Berrow School and his time in Eastbourne? I have a list of private schools of that period but nothing of that name comes up. Comments greatly appreciated. Mikeo1938 18:38, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
