Les frères Durand in AO DLC 39?

Hi, I encountered a Sgt Durand leading an H35 unit in Sarreguemines and finished him off in turn 5 with combined artillery, Stukas and AT. Now it's turn 8 and there is another Durand, this time a corporal leading an R35 unit. I first thought it was the same deadly foe brought back using the "Lazarus trait" but then noted the change in rank. Was the good Sergeant demoted after his resurrection, or is this his brother or even another relative from the distinguished Durand family? :D Hopefully the parents weren't too prolific, or I'm going to get really worried as this battle progresses. :o
Regards

Not everyone notices all the little details, but it's nice to hear when they do. 8)

Yes, these little things certainly give it that extra special touch. I really enjoyed the Spain DLC and am getting right in to this one too. And since you're here :D I just wanted to say that you can count on my vote for more AI-controlled allies. I really enjoyed using them in the Spain DLC. Sure, it took a few tries to understand how it worked with the 3 commands, but I found myself going from one command to another in a few scenarios. The only additional thing I would have liked would be the ability to use a different command, i.e. having the allies split in 3 zones, with each zone having a separate command. I, for one would be overjoyed to see a return of these allies in any battles that had the Germans in a support role, like in Spain.
Regards

Clearly I didn't notice this through the red haze covering my vision and the foam emerging from my mouth. But if there is indeed un troisième Durand, I guess he'll be a private in a char B1 :)
