I wonder if US emigration records exist of when he returned to Germany. Could be a nice small research project.

Thanks Guys,

I never tried to search for him in the US records. I'll give it a shot.

This is probably his brother from the USA! (from the web; a 1997 obituary)
Dietrich E.Hagedorn born in East Orange NJ (went to school in Germany and it reads he has a brother Kurt Hagedorn of Hanover, Germany.... so still alive in 1997)

Interestingly, a Lt Ridler, from East Orange, NJ, was killed near my place in September 1944.

There were many German soldiers of all ranks and branches of service involved that fought for Germany in WW2, just like there were many Germans that fought on our side also, and spoke German fluently, as this man spoke English fluently. Very cool anyway, and appears to be written on linen, instead of paper. They have changed the name there now, its no longer east orange.....now its called (wait for it...wait for it....East Black hahaha) just kidding. East orange by the way is a tough town if you have never been there...Very cool find and congrats.

It says nothing about when he went to Germany, it could just as easily have been months after his birth as 1938 or 9.

Ask about if anyone with a subscription to ancestry.com could look up the name amongst census and passenger lists, i'll bet he can be found.

Very interesting item.

Very interesting, especially since East Orange is not even an hour from where I live!

You have my sympathy...
