The gates of hell were opened and we accepted the invitation to enter" 26/880 Lance Sgt, Edward Dyke. 26th Bn Northumberland Fusiliers , ( 3rd Tyneside Irish )

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
No Paul he was a tank commander in the 3. Panzer Regiment of the 2. Panzer Division during Kursk.
In his letter he wrote "So in 1944, I joined a unit as a teaching officer. I went to the front(Russland) and we got beat badly. I got wounded and I got out and I went back to Germany and stayed a couple of weeks in the hospital. For a while, I was an officer standing around nothing to do. They transferred me. They flew by Ju-52 into the kessel (pocket), the surrounded areas, of Kurland.5 It was Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. I fought with a Panzerjager until May 1945. I surrendered to the Russians and then I was a prisoner of war until 1948 in Russia.
Just a heads-up. I've been informed that Mr. Gerhard Krems is unfortunately in a nursing home and unable to respond to letters.
