It was a humorous David and Goliath match- up that bizarrely went on to spawn a successful career on Broadway, of all places, for the German giant Jakob Nacken. Dusseldorf- born Nacken was working in a circus in America when war broke out and returned to the Fatherland to be conscripted into the German Army. He may well have been killed when Allied troops, including Corporal Bob Roberts, stormed five pillboxes and gun emplacements near Calais that were pounding Dover with shells. But his surrender instead meant he was sent over to Britain as a Po. W - and later went on to find stardom. His capture by Mr Roberts, then in the Canadian Army, made headline news at the time and was recorded on widely- distributed Pathe newsreel film.

And the then 3. 8- year- old Nacken later returned to New York to capitalise on this new- found international celebrity. He was signed up at first as the world's biggest Father Christmas then broke into the minor limelight of showbiz through the circus - nicknamed 'The Giant Uranus' and appearing at the New York World Fair.

In 1. 95. 9, he starred in Ripley's Believe It Or Not on Broadway. The tourist attraction - ironically now part of a Canadian conglomerate - showcased unusual acts and exhibits. Nacken was billed as 'The Tallest Man On Earth' and named in a roll of honour in Ripley's 'Odditorium'. His height was recorded variously as 7ft 3in and 7ft 7in. Confusingly, Nacken's fellow soldiers on the Normandy battlefield told Corporal Roberts he was 7ft 6in. The discrepancy might be explained by Nacken's civilian background in freak shows. Circus owners often lied about the dimensions of their tallest, fattest or shortest stars to enhance their popularity.

At least one giant was sacked on the spot when the circus boss found someone two inches taller, archives record. Nacken eventually returned to Germany and died 1. Speaking previously, Mr Roberts, who settled in Britain after the war, said he was 'delighted' when his Po. W had finally been identified after so many years.

He said: 'I never knew his name, only that he was a lance corporal.'But he spoke very good English and one of my mates later asked him where he learned it and he explained he used to be in the circus in America. 'I'm not surprised he made the most out of his height - there couldn't have been many taller than him.'Mrs Roberts, now 9.

He escaped death when a sniper's bullet grazed his temple, survived a shell blast that killed the man next to him, saw an enemy spy shot dead just as she was about to kill him and came out on top of a duel with a German officer. Last year, the French government announced it was to honour all living Allied servicemen who helped liberate the country from the Nazis by awarding them the prestigious Legion d'honneur.

When Bob's granddaughter, Melanie Vass, wrote to the Mo. D for his medal in April, the application joined a queue of 3,0.

Nothing was heard until this week when the great- grandfather received the award in the post without ceremony.
