..hi there...
..i got a bit bored with some reading i was doing, so i thought it would try to give my brain something else to think about other than Sino-British relations in the 1970's!!!..
..anyway, i belive the second anwser is 'Bismarck', as for the first question, i think there is a town or area or village, i am not sure, on the German side of the border opposing Verdun called 'Diedenhofen,' which i think fits in the crossword blanks...???
..hope this helps, anyway, back to Deng and Callaghan...
..AoO...
