Thanks Mike.

Very interesting.

[Spike Jones]

Mike,

Forgot to say..........Great website you have !!

[Øyvind]

I have talked to a Norwegian SS-Hauptsturmführer who was a good friend and also served under Vogt (during his time in Rgt "Norge"), got some very interesting "off the record" info about him.

Here is a picture of Fritz Vogt

Cheers
Øyvind

[Spike Jones]

Øyvind,

Thanks for the reply and posting the pic. Is it yours ?

Go on, spill the beans on the "off the record" gossip then?

[Øyvind]

Heheh.... I promised the old SS-officer not to tell it

Cheers
Øyvind

[Spike Jones]

Fair enough.

You can't blame me for trying.

[Michael Miller]

I vogt for full disclosure of this information.

[Spike Jones]

Øyvind,

Just got back after being away for a few days and noticed that the picture has gone.



Is it something we said ?

[Øyvind]

No, no..
I was not sure if I were allowed to show the picture. It came out of the archive of an friend of mine, and I have not got the chanche to ask him if I may use it.

Cheers
Øyvind

[Spike Jones]

That's good.

Maybe you will get chance to post the pic again in the near future.
