I tend to believe that story about the jumpy sentry. Six hits, including one to the heart (but for the silver cigarette case)? That's some fine marksmanship. If old war movies are any indication, no German ever put six slugs in anything that wasn't tied to a tree.

You may be on to something there. Where was Doohan on July 18, 1969? The last original Star Trek episode aired on June 3, 1969. Connect the dots! Could Doohan have been picking up some extra "piloting" money in Massachusetts?
