Willy Bogner’s Happy Ending
From bombs and hunger to life on the ranch
He was born in 1942. Right in the middle of World War Two. In Munich. He still remembers the droning noise of the allied bombers as they passed overhead, dumping their deadly cargo on the city. Eventually Germany capitulated. And then the next memory: American GIs with Wrigley’s Spearmint Gum. It’s a cliché, of course. But it was also a shimmering and highly symbolic reality. “After all,” he says, “we had nothing, except our hunger!” He’s Willy Bogner. Seventy years on – hale, hearty and healthy – he’s the head of a hugely successful fashion business and a former James Bond snow stunt cameraman! He’s also my latest guest on Talking Germany.
