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
Great information Ade! Pablo, you scored a very nice helmet indeed! Congrat's, Jim G.
This is an amazing thread, well done guys.
Veilen Danke. On another issue, my grandfather (Karl Feix) was a ground crew member in the Luftwaffe (see my Avatar) and survived the war. Presently, I do not have any information of his regimen or post, but I know he spent a lot of time in Poland from his photos. Where would you suggest I start in researching him and his outfit?
Hi Pablo, my pleasure and thank you! I love researching stuff.
You or the nearest living next of kin can apply for his service records from Germany. Did he survive the war?
Cheers, Ade.

Hi Mo, without researching it further and off the top of my head, could be either 4th, 9th or 79th US Inf Div's?
Cheers, Ade.
