WELCOME "HOME" RUDI !!!!!!
Hugo Neyenhuis

Thank you Franz, !!!!! I do not talk on the phone or even Skype to Rudi, because: get this . . . . .my German is deteriorating at an exponential rate :x I can read it, and understand it as before, but when it comes to speaking or writing, I fail miserably. Part of getting old I guess. Come to think ...

Word to the wise: Watch out, there are very very very many reproductions out there, originally made for re-enactors, but sometimes being tried to sell as the real thing. Personally, a very good friend, made me a reproduction soldbuch, based on my Stammkarte and info i had given him. If it were not f...

Our friend and my comrade Rudi Welz is in the hospital in Bavaria and having a knee replacement. After that of course comes some hard adjustment of rehabilitation. He just had lost his wife of some 60 years of marriage , and is still downhearted. It would be nice if all who remember him, would send ...

To all our friends in the good ole USA:
HAPPY THANKSGIVING !!!!!!!!!!
There may be a lot wrong here, but there is more RIGHT here.
We have still a lot to be thankful for.

Somewhere I read a quote from Churchill: "Hit them when they are asleep, they won't know what hit them". Sorry i have no scourge for it, but i DID read it . Another thing often forgotten is: the 50,000 'workers" in the war- related-industry, were mainly foreigners who had been volunt...

Hi Franz, If you wish to use German terms, please make yourself comfortable with the right spelling. Ruhe in FRIEDE ( pronounced Freede) , NOT Freiden which would be pronounced Fraaiden, or Friden . I forgot most of my German, but at 85 that is understandable, I don't think you are that old yet. But...

About recorded information of the time : Lots of records were burned at the last minute, or just thrown away, and disappeared. Some records were 'recaptured" or 'rewritten" when all was over, and some schreibstuben still pretended to function, although already in an internment camp. My Reg...

Rest in Peace Heinrich !. i did not know you, but the ranks are getting empty, so good luck on your next phase of your journey through eternity, Kamerad. Each day i wake up, I am thankfull for another one; each day I also ask my self will this be the day ? So what's left over is 'Carpe Diem" (p...

Oh yes, I remember it well. :oops: After passing my kradmeldertests, i was issued a U.S. 1911 pistol (12mm) (45cal). (beutewaffe) Our melders room was right above the C.O.'s office. I sat on my cot, , took it apart, put it back together, and without thinking pushed the ammo clip is. next 'firing pin...
