Trivia
A memoir titled "In Our Strange Gardens" is partly dedicated to Wicki, who was a German soldier guarding the author's father, a French Resistance fighter, during the German occupation of France. Wicki, who was clown before he became a soldier, stole food for and entertained his French prisoners while they waited to find out if they would be executed.
