Hi Grant, were these given to you by the vet?
Looking for the photo albums of Leutnant Emil Freitag, 3. / G.R. 377
Yes, unfortunately Heinz passed away recently and he had asked that these be left to me.
I'm sorry to hear that about your friend.
It was a kind gesture from him to give you his memorabilia stuff. I remember you saying that your kids aren't interested in militaria. Are you going to donate these to the local museum too?

No, I'll keep these, Heinz was a very close family friend.

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
