It was this very excellent site, where I found out about the man: http://www.globalsecurity.org/milita...44-46_ch17.htm and although, there is plenty of info on what France was looking to get in Western Germany and did not get in the end, there is no info in there about what France wanted in Berlin, other then what they got in the end...so, I guess the answer to question is still outstanding? Very tough questions here... Cheers, Torsten. (ebay id german.militaria).

Hi Torsten,

I did not know this site. You did a great research here !!

Cheers.

Christophe, thank you very much...but I think I only got the really easy ones... I liked Michael Gallagher's answer in post 42 and I am sure he would have had the answer for question 2 as well, had I not just answered it shortly before...so, if ok with everyone else, then I would like to nominate Michael to ask the next question... and I had already asked a question, so I think it is someone else's turn now...but I will go to get the next one again...
