Happy Birthday James Bond! 100 Years today (11 November 2020)
November 11, 2020According to author John Pearson James Bond was born on 11th of November 1920 in Wattenscheid, Germany.
Pearson wrote in “James Bond, the Authorized Biograpghy of 007“ (1973):
Bond smiled, somewhat ruefully, and paused before replying.
‘I suppose you have to know. The truth is that I’m a native of the Ruhr. I was born in a town called Wattenscheid – that’s near Essen – on Armistice Day, 11 November 1920. I have not, I hasten to add, a drop of German blood in my veins – as far as one can ever be certain of such things. As Fleming says somewhere, my father was a Highland Scot, my mother Swiss.’

Also 11th of November is the engagement day of 007 Travelers.
