“He’s A Good Boy, Really”

Mom Drives Son To Rob Jewelry Store

A German mother drove her son and his two friends to a jewelry store. There’s nothing odd about that you may think, however, in this case, the reason for the trip wasn’t to pick a nice watch, it was to stab and rob the jeweler. The mother was fully aware of her son’s intentions, but she came along because she was worried he might come to some harm.

This is quite normal maternal behavior in Germany. Notable precedents include the mother of Baron von Richthofen (aka The Red Baron), who always came along on his daring WWI flying missions. And let’s not forget Hitler’s proud mom, who was seated alongside Adolf when the Panzer divisions rolled into Poland in the early days of WWII.
