Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

On page 60 he has it as being in 13th infantry company, 58th Infantry Division, 154th regiment. That's in May 1940. He was enlisted at that time. Does that add up Paul?
Yes Todd that add's up mate 58 ID were a well know Armee Gruppe Nord Divison !! Does it mention in the book any of the time when 58 ID were fighting at Narva in 1944 ?

Hmm - not quite sure where to show this - but I suppose it is as good a place as any.
In a previous thread, I said that a lady I work with mentioned that her Grandfather had made the coffin for von Richthofen. An interesting titbit.
After talking with her a little longer, she said that an American Author had contacted him and had actually included her Grandfather in his book.
Now, I can't claim this book as my own - it has been lent to me for both a read and for me to put it on the Forum, together with some other information.
Grandfather: Fred Lienert
Book: Who Killed the Red Baron (1969)
Authors: PJ Carisella and JW Ryan
[Edit: You have to love the author. He was sent a turnbuckle from von Richthofen's aircraft, gratis, and then questions if it is genuine...]
Cheers
Tim
That's great! Are they signed photos you sent to them or did they provide them? Can you PM me trust contact info?
