Dang you Gents are good at your craft. ;-)) I wish I had your knowledge on such things-but not enough spare money to get all that's necessary. Anyway, Paul, Mate-your research never fails to amaze me with what you find ;-))

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

Also of interest to point out here is that Spork was not a German born soldier, but a Dutchman, i understand.

Hi Guys, Kaspar Sporck was my uncle, often his name is written in the wrong way, his ONLY CORRECT NAME IS KASPAR SPORCK, unfortunatly it is spelled wrong on his grave in Bayreuth. He is born in the hospital Heerlen, NL. but grew up in EYS Wittem, close to Gulpen, all in the province Limburg.
In the near future i will post a clear portrait pic probably taken in 1942, so without RK.
He was my fathers younger brother and until 1977 my dad didnt know what happenend to Kaspar. We were all very surprised and it was a great relief to find out what happenend to Kaspar.
The older Sporck brother MATHIEU was shot by the french Maquis shortly after the war because he worked with my father for operation TODT in Lorient.
Does anyone has more information?
Thx Peter
The sister of casper told me his name was casper....and that he was here darling brother.
