His contributions were so valuable that the German High Command awarded him the Iron Cross, a medal usually reserved for frontline soldiers.

However, he was secretly a double agent working for the British, misleading the Germans about actual Allied plans.

I can't be the only person who thought of 'Secondhand Lions' when I heard this.

Allow me to spoil this 'horror story.' It doesn't say that the man in the story is the last person on Earth. It just says he's the last MAN on Earth. So, it could be the last WOMAN on Earth knocking on the door. Am I the only one who has thought of this?
