My grandfather, who was a surgeon on a field hospital, not in WW2 but in the Portuguese Colonial war (1961-1974), told me that he managed to save a lot of soldiers because they wore their identifiacation tags in the pocket near their heart.

He also told that portuguese fighter pilot managed to fire rockets directly into caves where the rebels were hiding.

I know it hasn't alot to do with the rewst of the topic but since we are saring stories...
