He signed a couple of photos for me several years ago, he was about 90 at the time, I think, so he must be a fair old age now. He has certainly witnessed an incredible piece of world history in his lifetime, the last days of hitler in his Berlin bunker as the third reich died above them must have been terrifying and surreal at the same time. He is the last man alive to have witnessed all that first hand, once he's gone it goes from living memory to the history books.

He is 96 years old today.

Right you are - the last one to have witnessed all those events. Guess he'll be 95 or 96 today. I too have a couple of pics and his book signed (2 or 3 years later and due to his condition he stoped signing items). 2011 was the year he gave his last interview.
Too sad his daughter doesn't care at all about the father

I met him two years ago had a chat with him for over one hour, very interesting to meet him. Have some signed photos I bought from him as well but gave one to my buddies in the Latvian Diggers. Congratulations to him on his birthday and for surviving the war and his imprisonment by the Soviets!

Wow, what an amazing life he has led, not many can say they have been present at such pivotal points in history.
