Hello Everyone: I was working on my family history again recently and came across this old postcard. Although I am a native German speaker, my skills at Suetterlin are not that great, especially when trying to read the postcard below.

Hello Lorenz!

Thanks for the information. I've put a request in for Hooten's book and it should prove to be very helpful. Thanks very much for the info that you have given already, it is much appreciated!

Hello Everyone!

Just a quick question but I have yet to find a site or a good source that has the answer but does anyone know the Luftwaffe Units that were engaged/based on Sicily during Operation Husky?

Some minor details were off and some bigger ones (like the seditious talk with a General in NA who gets killed durng the same attack where Stauffenberg got wounded). Bu...
