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
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings
Couldn't agree more, especially if we bear in mind how old these men are. With the end of the war 68 years back, even a 16-year-old former Volkssturm member is now 84!
(By the way, Rochus Misch had already declared he was no longer able to reply to "fan mail" because of his old age and poor health back in 2011.)
You could always call into the 'Tiger Apotheke' in Herschweiler-Pettersheim to buy 'something for the weekend' and respectfully ask if Herr Apotheker Carius is on the premises and if you could have a quick word with him. Asking to buy a copy of 'Tiger im Schlamm' might help too.
