Personal family histories are always nice to see.
I also noticed that his arm is in hers - as if she
is supporting him - where usually, the woman
takes the man's arm. So he could indeed be
somewhat weaker than his former self.........

Jeff, As you may know, War is hard on most families.. Especially if your' on the losing end and have sacrificed all for naught... He was at least able to survive and return to his wife and relatives..
I only can wish your research can obtain more answers than questions... G

Very interesting Steve, I did not notice that. I could not stop looking at his countenance - he looks like he is somewhere else.

In early 2012 I sent an email and the 1st photo to the Military Archives in Freiburg, Germany. I did not expect too much really. 3 weeks later I received a response from a historian there. It was in German, I could make out some of it and a German coworker filled in the blanks. Basically, his name is rather common and without city and date of birth she could do no more.

I will, for sure. In fact, the key to this is the Doll shown on the right side of the 3rd photo. My Aunt gave it as a gift to his daughter, and I have a letter from the daughter from the mid 1980's where she states she has passed the Doll to her young daughter. Long story short, the young daugthers name in mentioned in the letter. So, I took that name and the German town on the envelope and searched the German online telephone book recently. I got a direct hit, same name, same town and she'd be about the correct age etc. Next, I need to decide how to approach her on this subject. If I can get this date of birth and other info I can then go back to the historian at the Military Archives in Freiburg...wish me luck
