    It's especially a good idea if the said pharmacist happens to be Herr Apotheker Otto Carius, Jagdtiger ace, bearer of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and credited with the destruction of circa 150 tanks...

    Interesting

    Did he think to himself as he was destroying tanks on the battlefield..'When this is all over, I will open a pharmacist's shop and settle down.'

    It would be revealing to find out if there is any sort of commonality over the chosen post-war careers of successful soldiers.

    Another eyample for an succesfull Businessman after the war is Josef "Pips" Priller from JG26.
    He became a Brewer after the war and married his longtime Girlfriend Johanna "Jutta" Riegele owner of Riegele Brewery in Augsburg and became General Manager of Riegele Brewery.
    Her Name on his airplane


    Here at the Homepage from Riegele Brewery you can see Josef Priller with his wife Johanna "Jutta" and his two Kids.

    And by the way, the beer is really tasty.

    I remember reading that a disproportionate number of US soldiers went into construction after the war
