Jean-Loup, it appears the link is not working. Maybe someone else is having the same problem or is it just me?

Strange. Here is the question:

I was talking to a local history teacher today who told me that a high ranking German dignitary's son had been killed in the fighting following the august 15th 1944 landings in southern France. Does anyone know who this person could be. The teacher didnt remember, but proposed something sounding like Adenhauer ??

Any one know? I would realy like to know this...
