This is a very honorable thing you are doing. It will be interesting to see your results as it could have others take your lead and follow your system to other sites. Thanks for your efforts and hard work - I too look forward to see how you are progressing.

Very good, thank you. Quite unfortunately, I have blood relatives that went to ground in Russia never to be known of again. Just kiddo conscripts fed into the Hitler war machine like so much human cannon fodder. Good god, what the hell does some 16 year old conscript kiddo from Frankfort has anything to do with anything. Those kids didn’t last long all. So I remember them as well, not political nut jobs, just totally untrained kids fed into the maelstrom of Hitler’s killing machine. Forgive , but I was invited to the annual reunion of the 19th Frankfort Regiment by “uncle” Otto. Sad but real, all vets of the calamity in Russia. I’m quiet surprised that any of the 19th Frankfort Regiment remain alive, it doesn’t seem possible, but they were. There would be fewer of them if they went up against my Pa and the 1st I.D., guaranteed and an absloute certanity.

PS. As Otto told it, TB, malnutrition and exhaustion took a larger tole l than the Russian Red Army did. Maybe so, I have no idea.
