But it was Hugo Schmidt from

"The Old Country" with that

heavy Germanic speech pattern

who rechristened him "Biggles"

(also the only one of his kind)

Only folks close to him

or with that knowledge

know that nickname

Kind of an inside joke

Hugo Schmidt was one of the most highly

respected elephant trainers of all time

During the war in Germany he would march

them under overpasses to protect them
