Why does the old guy become hysterical saying he can't go back to Poland? Whats the deal with that? (Dr. Chamberlin has to give him an injection to calm him down.)

He suffered terrible Nazi abuses in Poland (think Warsaw ghetto)

And he recalled the bridge(C-Crossing) that was on the railroad route to the camp he was at in Janov, Poland. PLOT POINT.

You are very clearly a moron, of enigmatic proportions, or a comedian? It isn't that what you have said is offensive, it is more of a puzzlement to me that you are capable of writing in English, so well done for that. Do you wear slip on shoes or have you mastered laces?

It's an insanely obvious reference to the Nazi occupation back in WW2. I hope you're very young to have not realised that. never mind if not, we all mess up sometimes.

He mentions at one stage that his wife and kids were murdered in Poland at a concentration camp.
