    Well done AR-11! Except my source has a different year for creation of the Elegies. How about the extra credit?

      Witch year do you know?
      And he went a long way to his exile: CSR (Prague), Austia (Vienna),Switzerland, Danmark; later Sweden and Finland finally to the U.S.A. but the city? I´m not sure: did he live in Los Angeles-Hollywood?

            3. The poem "Die Lösung" (the solution) is part of the "Buckower Elegien" (Buckow elegies) from 1954

            The "Buckower Elegien" (Buckow elegies) have been written in 1953.

                      Hi all,

                      Sorry for the delay replying. Had to make a work related emergency trip. Just got back. AR-11 was correct about questions 1 and 2, but I have the Buckower Elegien written in 1953. Christophe is correct about the extra credit, during the war he stayed in Los Angeles and associated with many expatriate Germans like Arnold Schoenberg, Erich Korngold, Theodor Adorno and Thomas Mann and we have the same date for the composition of the work. The final part of the question, with what organization was he associated - the Berliner Ensemble that he established in 1949 at the Deutsches Theater in Berlin. It's a toss-up between AR-11 and Christophe. Torsten, we need a ruling...

                        Hi Bob,

                        I think it is really Dirk's (AR-11's) turn. I brought the bonus or extra... when the correct answer had already been found.
                        It is AR-11's turn now !!

                        Good luck Dirk !!

                        Cheers.

                          I also have it down for 1953, but I do think it should be Dirk's turn (AR-11) now...Cheers, Torsten.

                              Thanx for the buckett,gents.
                              And here I have a a new puzzle, It was really happened in the northwest outskirts of my hometown Halle/Saale:

                              We write 1984, it is Thursday 23rd March, morning 11.00 o'clock. We are on the road Nordstrasse from the town-part Halle- Lettin in the direction of Halle-Kröllwitz. It is a correctly signposted military restricted area.

                              1.) Why it was a military restricted area? What was located there ( Hint: It was not only a simple barrack there...)

                              A passenger car and a truck are on the street. The passenger car drives swerving lines and accelerates very strongly. The truck tries to block the passenger car. The truck type was a Ural by the NVA. Passenger car and the Ural race into each other. The passenger car suffers total loss, the truck was likewise a little destroyed.

                              2.) Where was the passengers car from (Hint: it was not a Eastern-block-car...) , who was the owner of it?
                              3.) What was happend with the passengers cars driver?
                              4.) Why the passengers car was in Halle-Lettin? What was happend this time in and arond Halle and the middle of the G.D.R?

                              I hope it was too hard. I´m SURE, the "old" berlin-troopers with you guys know what I´m looking for...

                              Bonus: What´s the name of the passengers-car-driver?
                              I wish you good luck with investigating.

                                Does not seem easy... OK, Dirk, I try :

                                1. there was the regional base and command post of the NVA (NVA Dienststelle Lettin - 11 MSD)

                                2. The passengers of the car were French. It was a Vehicle of a French Military Liaison Mission.

                                3. He has been deadly wounded in the accident.

                                4.There were JUG 84 military maneuvers.

                                Bonus : Philippe Mariotti.

                                All the informations I have found are in a report... in German. I hope my understanding of the situation has been correct...

                                Dirk, I would be interested if you could give us a more complete overview of the incident.

                                Thanks in advance.

                                Ch.
