- ... that shortly after his capture in 1918 British brigadier general Hubert Conway Rees was interviewed by the German Kaiser, Wilhelm II? Source: I've cited print sources in the article but the BBC has an overview: "Brig Gen Rees was captured during the German spring offensive of 1918 and found himself being stopped and interviewed by the Kaiser himself as he was being led towards a prisoner of war camp." from: "World War One: Brig Gen Hubert Conway Rees who met the Kaiser".
