Wow!! That is exactly why creating these new sub-threads on Feldgrau authors is so great. I had no idea the history behind Signal Officers of the Waffen-SS and the above background is stunning to say the least. What an honor that must have been.The book was well received and I will always treasure the five pages of handwritten comments from the veterans in my personal copy. During the meeting the former SS-Obersturmbannführer Eugen Schlotter, who had been a principal advisor during the project, presented me with his officer sword, Totenkopfring, Iron Cross I, walking stick from the Narwa bridgehead along with a bag of other memorabilia.
