I knew Spin in 2002.
I was still a student and he already had a Website, Demjansk battlefield.
I am very grateful to him as he allowed to build a very nice relic helmet collection, at a price that I could afford as a student. I could even earn some extra money reselling something extras I got from him, and this was also very helpful at that time, when I didn't have any job.
Moreover, he gave me the chance to learn a lot about german helmets, handling the many genuine and untouched wartime pieces of all kinds he sent me in the years.
I am sure that as me he helped many other young collectors to grow up, altough he was very young as well.
The news of his death was terrible and unexpected. I feel very sorry.
This is a big loss.

Rest in peace, Spin!
