Re: JagdGeschwader 3 " Udet " at Stalingrad !!
The gates of hell were opened and we accepted the invitation to enter" 26/880 Lance Sgt, Edward Dyke. 26th Bn Northumberland Fusiliers , ( 3rd Tyneside Irish )
1st July 1916
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

Hi Paul, are Helmut and Fred still living?
Do you have any more of Helmuts photos, although if you have I am sure they are already on the forum somewhere!

Just lucky in some ways Nick , around the same time i began to attend OdR and other vets meetings in Germany , even though my German in those days wasn't great i just thought i've got to meet some of these guys who i've read so much about so just plunged in !! My only regret is that i didn't get involved with meeting German vets a lot earlier !!

By the way, I loved 'Hitlers Vikings'
